Profile not exporting metatype attribute

[softnotes]

I have created a new profile according to the instructions. When I import the profile, the name shows, but the new stereotyped elements I created are not available.

Looking at the exported XML file, I see the following entry.

Code: [Select]

<Stereotype name="MyTestClass" alias="A test class" notes="" cx="100" cy="80" bgcolor="-1" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="-1" hideicon="0"/>
Comparing this with the Archimate XML file, I see the metatype attribute is missing.

Code: [Select]

<Stereotype name="ArchiMate_Meaning" metatype="Meaning" notes="A meaning is the knowledge or expertise present in the representation of a business object, given a particular context. " bgcolor="13172680" fontcolor="-1" bordercolor="-1" borderwidth="1" hideicon="0">
I have tried setting the direction, used different types of links, but no matter what I do to the association between the stereotype and the metaclass, the metatype attribute remains missing.

Any suggestions?

Ah thanks, that solves that mystery.

I have obviously misdiagnosed the root of my problem. Looking at the Archimate technology XML file, the profile stereotype contains "AppliesTo" entries.

Having tried changing the connector type over to AppliesTo, it still does not generate these entries.
