Hi,
I have tried creating an application layer model, and while the elements seem to be properly provided - I only see UML relationships types , not the ArchiMate 3.1. I am using EA 16.0. As example - trying to create a relation from Application Component to itself - the ArchiMate relationships are shown. Trying to create a relationships between different Application Components in the same model - only UML Dependency, Information Flow and Trace are shown. Toolbox permanently shows only UML relationships.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Best regards
Marcin

Never mind - I found that modelling with ArchiMate works slightly differently to modelling with UML. I.e. it is easier to simply drag a connection out of existing element into empty place and then contextual menu will offer creation of elements as mandated by the ArchiMate models (from any layer that connected elements could be created).
Best regards

It works exactly the same in fact.
But you might have been working on a UML diagram, showing a UML toolbox.
The quicklinker offers by default only the relations and elements that are present on the current toolbox.
You can change that by unchecking the option "Filter to toolbox", but in most cases it's better to make sure you have the correct toolbox to begin with.
