Architect 2.1 PDF Print
ImageArchitect Release 2.1 has been released. It follows the succesful 2.0 release and fixes various bugs, while adding a few minor new functionalities.

In the Architect 2.1 release, the following features are new or improved.

  1. The command "More than one relation of the same type between objects" under the menu "Checks" (available in Architect Professional) now outputs its results to a workset instead of a table, making it easier to perform actions on those results. Its results have been improved. (TNG-1948)
  2. Double clicking on an item in the selector dialog for colour and label view selects the item clicked on and now directly closes the dialog.
  3. The performance of the application when opening views or moving and resizing of objects within a large model containing many collapsed levels has been improved significantly. (TNG-1936)
  4. The new viewfilter command 'Show relation roles' has been added. When active, this filter shows the role names of relations in the view. (TNG-1923)
  5. A 'link to views' attribute has been added to the basic profile, which allows each object to link to various other views. (TNG-1951)
  6. The HTML Help manuals now contain the complete texts of the Appendices.

The following bugs have been fixed.

  1. In the ArchiMate metamodel, types 'Deliverable', 'Goal', and 'Effect' were translated as 'Compound'. (TNG-1907)
  2. On some PCs Architect Professional would not show the menus 'Analysis', 'Checks', and 'Roadmap'. Also, the command 'transform xml' would not function on such a machine. (TNG-1909)
  3. The Query tool's metamodel browser has been renamed from 'profile browser' to 'metamodel browser'. (TNG-1902)
  4. In Architect Professional, the command 'Domain dependencies via profiles' from the 'Analysis' menu produced dependencies via relations, not via profiles. (TNG-1900)
  5. In HTML reports a script error would occur when using the index in its popup state. (TNG-1910)
  6. In Architect Professional (with Roadmapping add-on) the Roadmap command "Show roadmap in browser" gave incorrect output in case of parallel periods. (TNG-1919)
  7. After creating a HTML report with such settings that initially a specific view diagram should open itself, and also that the summary window of this view should open, the summary would open but close again immediately. (TNG-1913)
  8. In a HTML report, unrelated viewpoints or folders would typically be reported nested, and in some cases more than once. (TNG-1917)
  9. When reporting viewpoints to HTML, included viewpoints inside folders that themselves were not included were not reported. They are now: only when a viewpoint itself is unchecked, it is not reported. (TNG-1926)
  10. The "User x Group" and the "Roles and rights" tables of a repository were not editable anymore. (TNG-1933)
  11. During import of a XMI file some relational types could not be created, although they were allowed by the metamodel. (TNG-1929)
  12. The object values in the legend of a colour view are now correctly sorted on their name. (TNG-1921)
  13. Users that checked out objects in a repository model could not edit this model after logging on to Windows with a name that differed from the name used in the previous session only by upper/lowercase. The upper/lowercase character distribution is not relevant anymore for the repository. (TNG-1941)
  14. 'Generate view' should not take unchecked types into account. (TNG-1924)
  15. Graphical changes as a result of the assignment of a profile only worked in the first view they were applied in. (TNG-1934)
  16. Architect allowed drawing a relation starting from a relation, with unpredictable results. (TNG-1957)
  17. Translations of the ArchiMate view types were not stored within the ArchiMate metamodel folder, but within the Architect installation folder. They have been moved to the correct place. (TNG-1958)
  18. Architect Professional would sometimes crash when reporting a model containing collapsed objects and two or more viewfilter viewpoints. (TNG-1942)
  19. Under Windows Vista, the model and view browsers would not correctly handle multiple selection using Ctrl and Shift. (TNG-1950)
  20. Copying a viewpoint (query) to another model did not work when the application option (advanced) "match objects when copying between models" was switched on. (TNG-1914)
