Is there a possibility to restrict the types, that can be used within a Project or model. Several People are working on it, but are often using different types of Standards because od personal preference.
I would like to limit the usable types to a certain language e.g. SysML 1.3. ALso so that the language stays constant at lon term running Projects.

Not that easily.

As a start you can make sure everyone starts with the same MDG's activated.

Furthermore you could add some kind of model validation, either as a check afterwards, or even immediately when modelling.
Basically you can choose to implement this using
- SQL Search queries (reporting errors afterwards)
- Scripts (also afterwards unless you use EA-Matic
- Workflow scripts (immediate) (I think, never used those)
- Add-ins (immediate or afterwards)

If you are looking for some inspiration, I'm writing a model validator using VBScript. Look here: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/tree/master/Framework/ModelValidation

Thank you.
Indeed your suggestion marking only the relevant MDG Technologies works best for us.
It is easy and helps.
