No option to create Archimate 2.0 model or diagram

[Matt UK]

Hi all

I'm using Sparx EA version 10 and would like to do some modelling in Archimate 2.0

I can see that the version of Archimate includes Archimate 2.0 as it is in the list of nomenclatures under the MDG technologies menu item.  when I start a new project and select the required views or create a diagram I can only see and create a basic Archimate Diagram under 1.0 - the 2.0 template is not included.

I have made sure that Archimate 2.0 is selected as an enabled nomenclature in MDG Technologies but I still cannot activate or otherwise access it, or create a business view (Archimate 10. has no concept of different layers).

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?  I've used Archimate 2.0 on previous work so I'm a little bit at a loss.

Cheers

Matt

There may not have been a model pattern for ArchiMate 2 in that version of EA. (There is in the one in front of me) You can always create a package and put an ArchiMate 2 diagram inside. End result is the same.

Hi Simon, many thanks for reply

I'm confident my version of sparx (version 10) had the archimate 2.0 template as I've used it in times past, which to the best of my recollection was through my current PC, and I can find Archimate 2.0 in the list of MDG technologies.

I am not clear if I've inadvertently disabled it - it is ticked as enabled on the list of MDG technologies (accessed under the 'Settings' dropdown menu) but it doesn't appear either when selecting models as I create a project or when adding models.

I will dig out some old projects to see if they access any Archimate 2.0 models.

eta: I've checked with an old project, and the Archimate 2.0 patterns appear.  Not sure what I've done to make these disappear from the new project?

Hi Matt

In EA version 12 the Archimate 2.0 Diagram is labelled as [highlight]Business[/highlight] in the Technology section of the Model Wizard dialog

Is this what you are looking for?

Cheers

Phil
