When I attach a document as system attribute, it takes the local path of the document and saves that local path in the ARIS repository. Hence when opening this doc from another PC, it gives an error. Can anybody please suggest how we can we save the document itself in the ARIS repository so that we don’t have these problems with paths.

This is not possible via the system attribute but you can do it via OLE objects. OLE Object can be embedded.
Procedure to insert an OLE object in the model
- open a model
- menu insert - (OLE) object
- Only ARIS Business Architect, ARIS Business Designer, ARIS UML Designer:
Click on the position in the model, where the OLE object should be placed
- document already exists: choose option "create from file"
- click on "browse" and choose file
check box "display as icon":
- checked means: OLE icon is displayed
- unchecked means: external file is displayed completely, if this is supported by the target application
check box "link":
- checked means: a link to an external file is created
- unchecked means: the external file is copied and embedded in the ARIS database
click OK
To start the link double click the OLE symbol.
