Why does loading ArchiMate charts take so long?
When opening ArchiMate charts, you may experience long loading times. This usually happens when the chart contains multiple underlying views. The more views included, the slower the chart loads.
How to speed up loading
Instead of opening the full diagram with all views at once, you can choose to load only a single view.
Option 1: Open a selected view from the prompt
-
When opening an ArchiMate chart with multiple views (for example, 5 views), a selection window will automatically appear.
-
In this window, choose Selected views.
-
Select only the view you want to open.
-
Tip: Select all items first, then press the space bar to deselect everything at once.
-
Next, click the specific view you want and check it to open only that one.
-
Option 2: Open a view directly from Mavim Manager
-
In Mavim Manager, locate the subschema under the relationship category.
-
Double-click the subschema to open a single ArchiMate view directly.
Notes
-
Opening fewer views reduces load time significantly.
-
If you consistently work with the same view, it is more efficient to open it directly from the Manager.
