Title: EA supports ArchiMate import
Post by: tschijv on March 19, 2016, 01:59:58 am

Since version 12.1 build 1229 EA supports the The Open Group ArchiMate Echange File Format. I have installed the desktop edition of this versio of EA, but I can't see from I can use this new functionality. I thought It would be available at Extensions/Import or Extensions/Publish. But I can't find the ArchiMate option there. Am I doing something wrong here or is it not available in my edition?

Kind regards,
Toine

See menu Extensions|Archimate 2|Import/Export

But it might be that this option is not supported in the desktop version.

I deliberately didn't mention this new facility last week as I wanted to see how long it would take for someone else to notice.

[logged my first UI bug with it this morning :-)]

I'm just glad it's getting used, and if it's a UI bug that you're reporting at least the feature itself is behaving correctly.

Not quite sure how to display these inline from dropbox.

Ahhh thanks.  The UI bug should be obvious :-)
