SpesML Plugin - Overview
As a result of the project we have developed a SpesML Plugin for the tool MagicDraw (Link). In order to use the SpesML Plugin at least a MagcDraw Standard Edition as well as the SysML Plugin is required. The SpesML Plugin was built for MagicDraw 2021x Refresh 1.

SpesML Perspectives
The SpesML Plugin provides two perspectives:
- The SpesML (Novice) perspective reduces all toolbars and context menus to the minimum set of required options. This is recommended for new users.
- The SpesML (Expert) perspective adds more sophifisticated options to toolbars and context menus.
Of course you can use the defaults MagicDraw perspectives e.g. Full Featured to work with the SpesML Plugin.
Integrated Help
The SpesML Plugin provides a fully integrated help. There are two ways to access the SpesML Help:
- Open Help → SpesML Documentation to access this help page directly from within MagicDraw
- Open the Specification of any SpesML model element or SpesML diagram and click on Help to access an element/diagram specific help page
