What to consider when importing BPMN 2.0 diagrams
The following applies when importing a BPMN 2.0 diagram:
You can import BPMN diagrams of the BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0) and BPMN process diagram (BPMN 2.0) type.
<bpmn:import> elements are not supported (see chapter Document Structure of the BPMN specification).
Existing ARIS objects are not reused. Importing the same file multiple times results in new models and definition copies. Occurrence copies of objects are not generated.
XSD ID references are supported. QNames that can contain namespaces are not supported (see chapter References within the BPMN XSD of the BPMN specification).
There are character limits for attributes in ARIS. For example, the Name (AT_NAME) attribute can have a maximum of 250 characters. If the BPMN import exceeds this number of characters, the first 250 characters are used, and the remaining characters are cut off.
The colors of objects, connections and labels are exchanged if the third-party software supports this.
