How to insert a symbol from another model type? Load additional symbols?

by Mr. Peter Steiner (2011-12-20) in group We Love BPM

I created a new model by using the model type "IT infrastructure" and added some of the available 5 symbols in the corresponding "Symbol" pane.

Then I wanted to add a  "database" symbol (=well known "can" icon).

Much to my surprise this important symbol is NOT part of the model type "IT infrastructure.

How can this be?

Well I searched other model types and did NOT find it even in another model types.

How can this be be?

Assume I would have found it in model type "Data model": How can I add these symbols into a diagram of another type?

 

Can I load (how?) additional symbols into existing ARIS Express installation?

Is there an additional symbol library?

Thank you

Peter

Hi Peter,

no, the methodology in ARIS Express is fixed. If you want to use additional model-, object- and symbol types, you need to use the professional ARIS tools.
