Player Piano

The script player-piano-script.groovy supports the playback of MagicDraw instructions to the Open API to update models according the instructions generated by the ingrid tool.

Unsupported Metatypes and Attributes

If you come across an unsupported metatype or attribute, please add the necessary definition to the switch cases in the player-piano-script.groovy.

switch(new_meta) {

    case 'Class':
        new_element = ele_factory.createClassInstance();
        temp_ids[item_to_edit] = new_element.getID();
        temp_elements[item_to_edit] = new_element;
        new_element.setName(new_name);
        homeless_elements.add(new_element);
        break;
    .
    .
    .
    case "New Metatype":
        new_element = ele_factory.create__Metatype__Instance(); // This is a MagicDraw API call
        temp_ids[item_to_edit] = new_element.getID();
        temp_elements[item_to_edit] = new_element;
        new_element.setName(new_name);
        homeless_elements.add(new_element);
        ...

Importing Player Piano as a MagicDraw Macro

The player piano takes the basic commands created by the ingrid code (e.g., create, replace, rename elements and attributes) and makes them compatible with the Cameo OpenAPI. A similar script could be written for any other modeling tool.

  • With MagicDraw open locate the Tools menu
  • Select Tools > Macros > Organize Macros
  • For the Name, Macro Language, and File fields input "Player Piano", select "Groovy", and browse the file explorer (opened by clicking on the three dots button) to the .../Rapid Modeling Tools/player-piano/player-piano-script.groovy groovy script.
  • Images included below

Once the macro is loaded, there will be a Tools > Macros > Player Piano menu item. Use this to launch the macro.

The script is written in Groovy, and can be activated in MagicDraw through the Macro Engine. See MagicDraw Online Documentation for instructions on how to do this.
