Ever since ARIS 9 was introduced, the symbol palette of most ARIS supported methods has been restyled.
ARIS default palette (classic) |

ARIS default palette |

Organizations that want to keep using the classic symbol palette and thereby ArchiMate® symbols that look like the ones in the ArchiMate® 3.x specification, can do so by changing a database property.
Prerequisite
You are logged in to the database with ARIS Architect and you have the Database administrator function privileges.
Procedure
Log in to the relevant database.
Right-click the database name and click Properties.
Click Palette and method filter.
Select ARIS default palette or ARIS default palette (classic) in the Symbol palette field.
Click OK.
Log out of the database and log in again.
The symbol palette in use for this database is changed for both ARIS Advanced Architect and ARIS Advanced users.
Tip
The database symbol palette can be overwritten by a method filter in case a mixture of default and classic palette symbols within the same database is desired. If you want to use the ArchiMate® symbols as in the specification in an ARIS database with the default palette, you can import them as user-defined symbols. Filter and ZIP archives with the symbols are provided on the ARIS installation media in the directories Content\ArchiMate 3\3.0\Symbols and Content\ArchiMate 3\3.1\Symbols.
