3 years ago Hi,
You're not the first to ask this question but I do not have a simple solution.
Basically, when you export a model, they ARE located into a folder. But, those components can be located in several models, and in different folders across those models (thi is a choice made from the beginning).
When you import a component from a database, you do not import this component from one model, you import the component as it is from all the models.
That's the reason why you right click on a folder and then select the "import component from database" from here, the component is imported in that folder (if the imported component is of the right class of course), and when you go in the File / Import menu of Archi and select "import component from database" from here, it is created in the default folder of his class.
I hope this helps.
Happy to discuss this further with you if needed.
Best regards Hervé

when importing from model A into a new model B, elements are not assigned into their subfolders.
Example:
An analysis of the code points to DBImportElementFromIdCommand Line 116: 115 else { 116 this.newFolder = importConnection.getLastKnownFolder(this.model, "IArchimateElement", this.id);
The last known folder "test" is being selected from model B. The folder "test" doesn't exist there as the import is done into a new model B. The variable this.newFolder is set correctly IMHO, but has no impact on the result.
