How to use color meaningfully (layers, status, custom conventions\u2026) The most important notational habits that make diagrams instantly more professional Very practical tricks for clean alignment, sizing, routing &amp; layout Correct way of importing \/ exporting models (especially the official ArchiMate Model Exchange format) Why this part is extremely important (even if you already know some modeling tools) Many people can draw boxes and arrows\u2026 Very few people can quickly and consistently produce clean, correct, compact, and communicative ArchiMate diagrams that stakeholders actually understand and architects actually want to maintain. The difference almost always lies in small, repeatable habits that most training courses skip or mention only very briefly. Part II is all about those habits.
