Diagram and elements changing and losing their designed appearance.

[x7.john]

Hi there,
I have multiple diagrams based on a model. I am using Archimate. Some of the diagrams are now displaying these issues:
- some elements have lost their icon. E.g. the application element does not display the "lego", capabilities have lost the "building blocks", Valuestreams have lost thier chevrons
 - in some cases a generic service oval has been added in its place, that does not look like the service oval on the other diagrams
 - Sizes and locations of elements seem to change after saving and coming back to a diagram

v15.2 right click; Properties; elemetns; "use stereo type icon"  checked

First thing I would check is that you haven't set "Custom Style" for your diagram (check in the Properties docked window: ribbon > Start > Design > Properties). Second thing I would check is that the elements all have ArchiMate3 stereotypes (again, the Properties docked window will show this). And the third thing I would do, if none of the above explains the problem, is export the owning package to XMI and send it to Sparx support in a bug report...

Thanks. Yes. It looks like all of the suggestions check out. I'll have to submit a bug report
