General Board / Change Archimate element default appearance

« on: February 16, 2024, 12:31:28 am »

As Sparx EA 17, which is expected to bring support for Archimate 3.2, keeps not coming, I'm trying to find workarounds for some of the new features. In particular, two relate to the appearance of elements:

• Changed the icon notation of the meaning and communication network elements, added an icon notation for work package, and added new box notations for meaning, value, business object, contract, representation, work package, and deliverable
• Changed the default color of the plateau and gap elements to the same pink as the other Implementation and Migration elements
  

https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/archimate32-doc/ch-Changes-from-previous-versions.html#sec-Changes-from-Version-31-to-Version-32

So, beyond the ability to change the appearance of a single element in a diagram, is it possible to update the default appearance from the model to:

• Add/modify the icon of elements using an SVG file (SVG sources of the new icons are easy to obtain)
• Change the color and shape of elements

Thanks in advance!

So no one at Sparx knows when the EA version that will finally support Archimate 3.2 will be released?

Has there been any progress on this? I did as suggested and submitted a bug report a couple of months ago, but I was only told that it was planned for EA 17, with no release date. It's been more than a year after 3.2 was published, so I'm wondering how much longer this will take.
