Hello,

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

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).
