Importing Archimate models from free tool Archi
« on: April 14, 2014, 04:37:05 pm »
Since 9.3 EA is supporting the Archimate modelling language.
With recent updates, EA now even supports Archimate 2.1.

The same language is also supported by the open source tool Archi (see http://www.archimatetool.com/).
This tool uses the file type ".archimate" based on XML.

Is there any easy way to import such an ".archimate" file into EA?

I did a simple workbook to convert the Archi elements into EA model elements.
This converts the elements exported from Archi (CSV) to EA recognizable format.
You have to paste the archi export into the first worksheet and then use the contents in the 'Packages_Table'.
You can define a CSV import specification for the  contents in the "Packages_Table" worksheet and import the elements (Use preserve hierarchy to import the folder structure as well)
