General Board / Re: Show attributes within Data Object

Thanks Geert, honestly I didn't think about combining types of elements (Archimate + Class objects) on one diagram. But somehow it works

General Board / Show attributes within Data Object

« on: October 20, 2025, 11:51:33 pm »

Hello Sparx community,

I have a question - is there a way how to show list of attributes directly on diagram while using Archimate notation and modelling Application layer? Please see the screenshot for illustration. I'm looking for similar function what we are using while modelling in UML (classes with attributes). My version is EA 16.1.1629. I have read there should be an option for "Feature Visibility" and check the "Attributes", but I can not find it.



Thanks in advance, regards

Andrej

Thank you for your feedback and ideas. We will have to re-think the approach in the future. From the sustainability perspective, our concept has got serious limitations.

General Board / Traceability of Data Objects

« on: December 06, 2024, 07:56:00 pm »

Hello Sparx community,

I’m experiencing modelling issues while using association of Data Object to Control flow between two Application Components. When using Traceability feature there is only general association with “ProxyConnector” object and that’s is. Is there anybody who is familiar with this kind of issue and have a solution?



Another issue apperas while re-using the DataObject on different diagram. There is no way how to hide association (if not wanted).
I know there are alternative approaches how to model DataObject (for example, image below). However this approach is not practical because of re-usage of DataObject on different flows across the diagram. There is a lot of abstraction going on and one DataObject can be associated with 10 various flows.



Running on EA version 16.0.1605 and using Archimate 3.1.

Thank you for any ideas.
