All,
at the moment I am using both Archi and Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect for modelling.
Recently, I wanted to export an ArchiMate 3.0 model from Archi and import into EA.
However, it seems EA only has support to import ArchiMate 2.0 models.
Therefore, I wrote a small XML conversion using xmlstarlet that I wanted to share:
@echo off
set INPUTFILE=%1
set OUTPUTFILE=%2
set INTERMEDIATEFILE=CONVERSION_INTERMEDIATE.xml
xml ed ^

sed -e "s/http:\/\/www\.opengroup\.org\/xsd\/archimate\/3\.0\//http:\/\/www\.opengroup\.org\/xsd\/archimate/g" %INTERMEDIATEFILE% > %OUTPUTFILE%
DEL %INTERMEDIATEFILE%

Hi Volker,
thanks for sharing!
I'm sure one day Sparx will come up to speed... ;)

From this sommer, release of Sparx EA 13.5 the Archimate Exchnage format v3 is working okey to share models between Sparx EA and Archi.

Thanks for the info, Steen.
I've tried to import to EA 16.1 model from Archi (Open Exchange File xml). There is no messages and effects. Someone may help me? Any suggestions?

Did you contact Sparx support about this? Also if you provide more details about the problem it would help.
Hi
I am benchmarking EA 16.1 Vs Archi and I have achieved importing a huge (20000+ concepts, 700 views+) archi model in EA.
It crashed on the first attempt though, I am not sure why, I had two objects with the same ID (don't ask) in my archi model and once I corrected this problem, everything was OK on import
EA Ui is a bit messy to say the least, are you sure you're importing from "Specialize > Technologies > ArchiMate > Import Model Exchange File" ?
