A number of improvements have been made to the way that connectors are routed when first drawn, and to the way that connectors are re-routed when connected objects are moved in a diagram. This feature can be enabled by clicking the relevant button in the Layout toolbar or by modifying the value of the property General::Graphics::SmartRouting.
For rectilinear connectors in diagrams, it is now possible to specify that the connection points to elements should stay fixed when the elements are moved. This behavior is controlled by the new property General::Graphics::KeepEndPoints.
A new property, General::Graphics::SnapEdgeAlignmentDistance, was added to make it easier to straighten connectors that have bends in them. When the distance required to straighten such a connector is smaller than the value set for this property, you only have to move the connector slightly in the appropriate direction, and the connector will "snap" to the point required to make it straight.
In order to limit the impact on performance, a new property, MaximumNumberOfPortsToDisplay, has been added to make it possible to limit the number of ports that are displayed for a single element in a diagram. If you have created more ports on the element than the number specified with this property, you will see a message indicating that not all of the ports are shown.
When you hover over an item in the menu that lists the open tabs, a tooltip with additional information is now displayed.
When using the conditional property syntax, you can now include the following options.
Previously, the errorMessage() and getErrorMessage() methods would return the most recent error. So if a method call resulted in an exception, and you called additional methods afterwards, you could still get the original error, provided that the additional calls were all successful.
Now, the most recent error is cleared when a method is called successfully. So in order to get the error message, getErrorMessage() must be called immediately after the method that failed. This applies to:
A new variable called UseRelativePathForRefsToNonLocalUnits can now be used in the General section of the rhapsody.ini file. This variable can be used to control whether relative paths are used for the filepaths of model references in repository files. If the variable is set to TRUE, the path to the saved unit of a referenced element appears as a path relative to the saved unit of the referencing element.
Note that if you are using (1) an earlier version of Rhapsody that does not support this variable or (2) a Rhapsody instance where the variable is not set to TRUE, then attempts to add a unit to model, with dependents, may not succeed in adding the dependents of the unit if that unit was saved with this variable set to TRUE.
Prior to this release, when a NULL value was passed to an API method that expects a non-NULL parameter, the message "Element Deleted" was displayed. Beginning with this release, the error message that is displayed in such cases is "Invalid parameter".

A number of steps in this section refer to the Share directory as being a subdirectory of the main Rhapsody installation directory. Note that if you performed a "split" installation of Rhapsody - meaning that you did not use the "Install all Rhapsody files in one location" option - then the Share directory will be located in the user home directory, for example, C:\Users\
