Last post by bramasdf - March 26, 2024, 09:36:28 AMIs there an exciting script? I just want a script that creates a view that includes all made conections by that object. This to easily see for example which applications a certain bussines actor uses?
I have found this but it does not seem to work = https://gist.github.com/jbsarrodie/9bcab008be7f7e75b737e43bfab43048

Last post by Phil Beauvoir - March 25, 2024, 14:42:19 PMNormally, a user will create custom Views by adding concepts manually from the Models Tree. If you have a particular requirement to add certain concepts to a View automatically then you'll need to create a jArchi script. Because Archi cannot support every unique and particular use case for all users we created jArchi, the scripting plug-in, to address this.

Last post by bramasdf - March 25, 2024, 14:37:29 PMHi, thanks for the response. However the view is restricted.
For example i want to have a bussines actor connected to a procces, connected to a application service and then the application. When i try to generate a view. I only get the bussines actor and the proces. I would like to see the whole chain. Is that possible within archi itself or will a plugin be necesary?

Last post by Phil Beauvoir - March 25, 2024, 14:23:51 PMHi,
there is the "Generate View For" command where a view is created for an element and all of its connections. See the section "Generate a View from Elements" in the Archi User Guide. If this is not sufficient, you could automate it with a jArchi script.

General Archi Discussion / How can i create a view that i...
Last post by bramasdf - March 25, 2024, 14:16:30 PMHello,
Im a new archi user and had a couple questions.
I am doing an internship where i have to map out all the used application etc.
I already made a large board consiting of the different bussines lines.
And for my later stages i would want to create a view for every different bussines line that shows which application that they use. Is there a way to automate this? like i click an my bussines actor and then create a view that shows all conections made by this certain actor?
Kind regards

No. One could try to do this with some jArchi scripts (and Herve did some years ago), but very often (read: always), this is more complicated to automate than expected.
No, connections can only be straight (but you can add bendpoints to split a connection into multiple segments).

Last post by Jean-Baptiste Sarrodie - March 25, 2024, 08:40:58 AMHi,
Yes, that's on purpose: you have to resize them before. Usually 20px is a good start for a top right icon.
Only exception: if you set image position to "Fill", then the image will be scaled (up or down) to cover the whole figure.
If you don't want any background, use an image format which supports transparency (such as PNG) et set background to transparent.

Last post by Gemini - March 24, 2024, 22:32:58 PMHello,
Is there a way to automatically position Archimate elements and their relationship connectors so that they can be arranged in a visually appealing manner, i.e. connectors not crossing each other, and drawn with archs like in the graphviz tool and distributed to the screen so that all visual elements are visible in a readable way?
Thanks
