Very Slow in Loading my enterprise architecture

[johnm9]

I have 2 hundred something systems in my organization and their data flow and connections are defined in the EA.

As the diagram grows, the project loading time now goes unacceptably slow.... basically 5 - 10 minutes....

Is there any way to allow adding/referencing elements in other EA projects in a diagram so that i could separate the whole big model into separated projects?

Helo John,
There is no specific feature for linking parts of a model to another model. However with version 7.5 when using a DBMS repository there is a feature to set "Lazy Load" which will only load the first level of the repository  - with subsequent levels loaded on useage - I suggest you try this.
