hi claudio – are you referring to a time-scaled logic diagram? if so, you can do that in visualizer. goto tools->visualizer and build one in there.

how do you solve the problem that all of your screenshots have in the yellow group title?
i mean: the wording has been cut, so how would you solve this?
i would never print such a layout with a cut and unreadable project title .

thanks.

many thanks

i had a similar issue with more than specified white area in the right and bottom margin settings. changing the screen resolution in the display settings fixed the issue. i wouldn’t have thought of this connection had i not remembered changing the screen resolution couple of weeks ago.

can anyone let me know how the screen resolution overwrites the print settings in p6? or was it the re-logging which i had to do after restoring the previous resol. setting that addressed the issue?

i have a layout that shows activities collapsed to the summary wbs level and i can see the bars i wish to see on the screen, however when i go to print it, it will only print the name of the wbs and not the bars? i have the print gantt chart ticked in the options page.
thanks in advance.

hi jeff,

1) goto view->table font and row – you can set the table row heights in there.
2) i like a 2 line timescale myself. right-click in the gantt chart, and choose timescale. set your timescale there. also if you are trying to print this, make sure you go to the options tab in the page setup screen. you’ll have some timescale options there as well.

1) how do i expand the bar height on the gantt chart. my issue is activity name is tagged center under bar lables so that it sits on the bar rather then below it or to either side. gantt chart bar is to narrow for font and if i reduce font to fit its to hard to read.

2) how do i manipulate timescle info on the gantt chart. currently im using three lines for timescale format with type = calendar and date interval = month/financial period. this gives me top line = year middle line = month and bottom line = year, month, day (2014-02-01) where does this data on the bottom line come from? my issue is it only shows up in certain months and not in others.

david,
in your layout, goto view->group and sort and check the box labeled “hide if empty” – this will remove any wbs that has no activities under it due to the filter. that should clean things up.
