Microsoft provided many Visio Stencils at Visio websites, however, if you want to create your own Visio Stencils you can create it in Visio 2010 in the following way 1. On the File menu, point to Shapes, and then click New Stencil. Sep 04, 2018  I have Visio 2003 and I want to install a custom set of stencils for Archimate (EA Language). I can't figure out where to put them to make them show up as a folder in my File/Shapes List. Under Program files, I have Microsoft Office/Visio11/1033 and /Samples/1033 and in this folder, I have all of the MS.vss.

ArchiMate Standard Viewpoints

iServer contains a complete set of standard ArchiMate viewpoints that are preloaded in the repository as Visio templates. These templates can be used across your architecture to create diagrams that can be communicated with the business.

ArchiMate Validation Rules Engine

Once a diagram has been completed, users can run the validation rule engine to check for errors against the ArchiMate 3.0 specification. The validation rules engine ensures the use of correct alignment and increases the accuracy of diagrams for all users of the repository.

The modeling notation aligns with each phase of the ADM folder structure in the repository. The ArchiMate notation can also be used to help model details of IT4IT components.
