Hi all — I’m trying to visualize a Use Case diagram in the Sys IDE-Modeler (VS Code extension) and I’m not getting actor → use case connections or a system boundary the way I expect.
Source: I’m using the SysML v2 training example here:
https://github.com/Systems-Modeling/SysML-v2-Release/tree/master/sysml/src/training/35.%20Use%20Cases
What I did (repro):
-
Open the repo in VS Code.
-
Navigate to the
35. Use Casesexample. -
Run “Sys IDE- Visualize Current File” on the
.sysmlfile.
What I see: a figure with two use cases (e.g., provide transportation, add fuel) and a «part def» Fuel Station block, but no connectors between the system, the use cases, and the actors (vehicle, fueler, fuel station). (screenshot attached)
What I expected: a standard Use Case diagram showing:
-
actors (vehicle, fueler, fuel station),
-
the subject/system boundary,
-
associations between actors and use cases (and any include/extend relations if present).
Questions
-
Does Sys IDE-’s visualizer support rendering actor ↔ use case associations and the subject boundary out of the box for this example?
-
If yes, what am I missing? (specific command, setting, or required annotations/viewpoints?)
-
If not, is there an example or recommended pattern (e.g., a particular viewpoint or presentation annotation) to produce a classic Use Case view
Environment
-
VS Code: (version 1.104)/ Windows 11
-
Sys IDE-modeler extension: 0.7.2 (from marketplace)
Thanks in advance! If it helps, I can share the exact file I’m visualizing and the output from the visualizer.
