Overlapping expanded timelines
I'm trying to create a few timelines within the parent timeline that are
overlapped. Say I have a timeline from Jan to Dec and want to do two expanded timelines, one from Jan to June, and another from Apr to Aug. Its not allowing me to have expanded timelines that are overlapped. I am able to create non overlapping timelines on the parent timeline, and I'm also able to create a nested expanded timeline within the child timeline. Is there a way of setting up overlapping expanded timelines at the same level? Thanks |

I've just tried doing so, not a problem. I can also create a nested expanded timeline, are you perhaps doing that accidentally? Add the first expanded timeline, move it away from the parent, then add the second. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electrical for Visio http://www.electrical.sandrila.co.uk/ |

Overlapping expanded timelines
Hi Paul, Thanks for the reply. I can sometimes get it to work, but it seems to be very sensitive to the location of the expanded timeline. Is there a way to lock the 'parent' timeline. Visio seems to reparent it automatically. I'm trying to build a hierarchy of timelines that looks like the following, and all the expanded timelines are parented to the top one.... -------------------------------------------------------------- parent ------------- --------------- --------------- etc.... But when I put them in these locations, visio automagically reparents it to the timeline on top, instead of the 'parent' one. thanks "Paul Herber" wrote: On Thu, 14 May 2009 17:21:01 -0700, Travieso wrote: I'm trying to create a few timelines within the parent timeline that are overlapped.

Yes, I think you just need to take care where the timelines are placed, just put all the required timelines on first, when placing the next one move all others out of the way. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
