CLI error

[Alberto]

All, I'm in a new role and new setup, and I'm trying to recreate my old workflow of regularly publishing HTML reports via CLI. However, I'm not able to do even the basic tasks like open a model or create an empty model. What am I doing wrong?

C:\> "c:\Program Files\Archi\Archi.exe" -p -application com.archimatetool.commandline.app -consolelog -nosplash --createEmptyModel "archi.archimate"

Hi, the --createEmptyModel doesn't take an argument if you are only creating an empty model. If you do supply an argument it must be to a template file (.architemplate) and the full path to that file must be given.
