Issue 19783: Expand use of rake symbol for all decompositions (sysml-rtf) Source: University of Detroit Mercy (Mr. Michael J. Vinarcik, vinarcmi(at)udmercy.edu) Nature: Enhancement Severity: Significant Summary: I’d like to advocate for rakes on Call Operation nodes (that have associated methods) in the next SysML rev. We’re using operations extensively because they inherit nicely and have inputs/output parameters. By moving to Call Operations from Call Behaviors, we lose the rake that’s a visible sign you can drill deeper…so by using Call Operations with methods instead of Call Behaviors, we lose that visual cue. I put a stereotype with icons on the nodes as a fix, but I’d love to see it as a native function. I suggest that rake symbols should be expanded to include call operations on activity diagrams with methods attached (or any other situation in which drill-down is available).
