Token Tunnel SysML in Diagrams

[DS_10069093]

Hi, 

I would appreciate if the PTC Modeler supported SysML token tunnel in diagrams. This would lead to a better overview when several connections are used between elements which are spread over a diagram. 

Please see the attached figure as an example for token tunnel. 

Thanks, 

David

Hi,

thanks for your response and the link. I added the information below: 

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.

As a solution architect in the medical device industry I support users of the MBSE tool PTC Modeler.

2. What product & version are you currently running?

PTC Modeler 9.3
3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.

The use of many connections in an activity diagram (sometimes unavoidable) is at the expense of clarity and leads to crossing lines. 

4. What is the use case for your organization?

The product architects would like to apply SysML token tunnel (marked red in the picture below) to make activity diagrams with many connections clearer.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?

The suggestion would lead to a better overview when several connections are used between elements which are spread over a diagram. 

Thanks, 

David
