ArchiMate® export allows you to save selected ArchiMate® model elements as XML files.
Making Architecture Elements Available to Other Tools
The ArchiMate® export is an easy way to output ArchiMate® model elements.
ArchiMate® model elements can be exported from Innovator as XML files in the "ArchiMate Model Exchange" format.
XML export is possible in accordance with ArchiMate® 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2.
Exporting ArchiMate® Model Elements as ArchiMate® XML Files
Prerequisites
You can only export model elements defined by the ArchiMate® standard.
Depending on the output method selected, the export attempts to calculate the amount of elements needed. e.g. if an ArchiMate® diagram is selected, then its contents and referenced ArchiMate® model elements are also output.
If other model elements or only model elements which do not belong to ArchiMate® are selected, then they are ignored upon export.
Context
Export ArchiMate® model elements into XML files to import them into other tools.

Select the target file or specify a new one.
