Recently I thought noticed it was possible to combine a model with its - lets say - 2 successors into one print (in other words: basically creating one print of 3 models to see the full flow in one piece of paper rather than 3 pieces).
I am not able to find the guide to this again (forgot to note down where I saw it, as I was looking for something different at the time) and clicking around in ARIS doesn't help me either.
Is it possible? If yes, how do I do it? :)
Use ARIS Designer and Connect v10.0.
We model with EPC's.

Have not tried, but I believe this can be done using manual scripting in a Report:
1. In the report, first get a handle to the model you wish to start to. That is, run the report from a certain model.
2. As the standard stock Process Manual can print the process as graphics, this must be possible to pick up as an image. Print this to the report.
3. Extract events that have no successor objects. These must then be end events
4. For these events, find occurances. Filter out the model you are at currently.
5. Iterate over this set of models:
5a. Print the models as graphics to the report.
Close report, flush cashe.
However, if you want something more advanced, such as creating a very big EPC, I think this to be difficult/impossible. IF you programatically can read the positions of each object in a model (never tried), you could probably do this.
Also, Possibly, but never tried/class of wild ideas: Can you use the test designer to create longer EPCs?
