Thanks KP, I don't see a location element in the ArchiMate 3 Motivation toolbox (Strategy Concepts) only [Resource | Capability | Course of Action]

I do see a location element in and Technology toolbox (Physical Extension).

Thanks for the further insights Paolo, I am just starting out learning Archimate and usually live in BPMN models... 

Kind Regards,

Stoppy

Thanks Paolo, your spot on with your advice.

I must have been on auto pilot. I created a Archimate 3 business layer diagram not a Archimate 2 business layer diagram.

I can now see location element as mentioned.

I wonder what the decision was behind removing the element in the new archimate specification?

Thanks very much.

Stoppy.

General Board / Location Catalogue

« on: March 22, 2017, 11:41:22 am »

Hi All,

Just looking for some suggestions on how to demonstrate/articulate a location catalogue in EA.

I was going to use Archimate to help present a simple diagram using the business interface element, but not sure how best to go about and implement.

Ideally I would like to change the appearance of the element to demonstrate what it represents.

My goal is demonstrate our offices where our people reside and potentially other sites like data centers, etc....

Happy to hear some suggestions.

Kind Regards,

Stoppy

Hi Roy,

My post title is only referencing BPMN type diagram, specifically I am only using BPMN 1.1

I will pm you my reference number which as been supplied by support.

I checked the diagram properties and 'Whiteboard Mode' and/or 'Hand Drawn' are not selected.

I rolled back to EA 12.1 on the same machine and the issue still occurs.

I tried a VM with Windows 7/ EA 11.1 and the issue occurs but not as prominent.

Regards,

Stoppy

Thanks for the response Simon, I have received the my reference number for my issue.

I checked the setting in Ribbon: Layout > Diagram > Appearance > White Board, Hand Drawn

My setting is "Standard"

I have only just installed EA 13 on this machine out of the box as this stage.

Kind Regards,

Stoppy

Thanks Glassboy for the suggestion. however the renderer option does not address my issue.

Playing with the renderer option did produce a more prominent display of the issue.

It is strange, the start events looked squashed and the gateways look almost prism in some cases.

Kind regards,

Hi All,

Is anyone experiencing distorted BPMN Diagram Shapes and Connectors shapes?

I've noticed the behavior occurs when zooming in and out.

I have found myself spending a large amount of time aligning activity elements and fixing connectors to ensure the arrow heads are displaying correctly and to produce a professional looking model. Is there a way to set EA connectors to connect cleanly between elements???

Also I have noticed the gateway and end events will be a little warped/distorted when zooming in and out??

Currently using Windows 10 Build 1607 14393 and EA 13.01.1309.

Regards,

Stoppy

+1 here Uffe.

This would certainly help in my world as we use SharePoint. To have a repository of reusable hyperlinks would be beneficial then creating new links for models and would help managing links with one change only to be applied across the architecture.

Does anyone have any information on when EA v11 will be coming, only reason I ask is it has been 12 months since the last major release with several builds following up after?

"dunny" according to Webster's is a NZ word for toilet. In Scotland it's a cellar. So: are you from NZ or a Scotsman?

Neither Qwerty, Geert is right!

You've just gotta watch the Kangaroos when your crossing the street to go to the Dunny!!

Is there really that much spam on here?
