v4.2.r.Rhp831.PreRelease (24-OCT-2023)

Incremental drop with a new right-click Allocation Function Block menu option for Features. This is the first cut of a function block to subsystem allocation wizard designed to enable a workflow from modeling a function chain independent to system architecture, and then having an easy way to move the functional logic into one or more architectures. Further enhancements will come (e.g. auto-wiring connectors) so this release is a chance to get initial feedback. It also has some improvements found during usage and testing such as getting the view and viewpoint diagram filter to work with the function chain logic elements.

Now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely (as Rhapsody will open first filename it finds rather than the explicit path to .sbsx).

A quick cut with some additional core tweaks around functional flow modeling usability to assist including option to populate logic flow and having a separate symbol for accept events.

Now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely (as Rhapsody will open first filename it finds rather than the explicit path to .sbsx).

v4.2.p.Rhp831.PreRelease (11-OCT-2023)

Further refinement of usability, especially in the functional flow modeling with internal block diagrams and function blocks/usages with positioning of automatically created ports. 

Now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely (as Rhapsody will open first filename it finds rather than the explicit path to .sbsx).

Also some further model restructuring helpers related to progressively growing out a model, e.g., moving function blocks and subsystem blocks into their own correctly named and typed packages.
