Is it possible to apply the full diagram setup details [e.g. row colours, details, etc] to another diagram in a different project so as to short cut the whole diagram setup?

Cheers

Hello Still having Diagram problems : Having got all relatives to show in the diagram, I then edited the text scheme 'Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Death, Burial + Notes' that I am using by adding 'Relationship to Chart Root'. It shows as added in the right hand Edit Text Scheme Box – but doesn't appear...

Although we seem to have solved the problem with root and root's wife parent family not being shown - I now have a situation where with several couples only one half of the couple is showing in the diagram. How can I make everyone I have got in my database appear in the chart/diagram? BTW, I have on...

OK - managed to do it.

Very many thanks for - as always - rapid and comprehensive response

Parents (and earlier ancestors) of Root's wife not showing in diagram

In my Diagram (created with FH6.2.2), I have found the relation to Root is showing twice in some, but not all boxes.
Can you help me eliminate the duplicates which appear at the bottom of the box. Diagram attached.
Peter

Brilliant - the grey line vanished !

Very many thanks for prompt and superb help

Best wishes

Hello
A strange curved grey line between two people has appeared in my diagram; I think it might be called a Route?
Anyway, I don't want it but cannot see how to get rid of it.
Any Ideas?

Many Thanks

I am trying to create a custom text scheme for my charts I have added various fields and been able to re-order them as required - but I want to remove some of the fields and I cannot do this. There is, I believe, supposed to be a left pointing arrow which is clicked after highlighting the item to be...

Noted - Many Thanks

Hello Lorna and Jane You did it !! I actually went back to my file root - James Gardner Denny - and then made a new diagram by selecting 'All Relatives' - and there they all are ! My silly fault. Many Thanks to you all who have taken the time to help with my self-inflicted problem; after all these y...

Hi Lorna If you look at the diagram I attached - the selected root is James Gardner Denny and he is the grandson of Karin Blackbourn and William Roy Denny - so there is a direct familial connection. The colours of the chart are irrelevant - I simply use a colour scheme of my own - but you will see t...

Hi Lorna
She is grandmother to the file root

Hello again I did write a reply, but It seems to have vanished. Anyway, I can confirm that the spouse in question is the direct grandmother to the root, only marriage with the root's grandfather. Relationships in my diagrams are always set by the diagram option "relationship to file root"....

Hello I am working with an 'All Relatives' diagram and for some reason it is not showing the expansion of ancestors for one particular person. This is a wife of the main line, but her parents and forebears just do not come up even though I have added the people concerned. It is doing the correct thi...

I apologise for not responding earlier - I have been struck down with bronchitis since Christmas Eve ! However, I today tried increasing the margins, then increasing the font size and - low and behold - it all appeared. I suspect that my diagram - which is nearly 2 metres by three metres - was too l...

Yes - 'text' I entered into the Text tab of the Format dialogue does not appear
I set a font - Lucida Bright - on my computer and appears in list of available fonts
Text colour is black
margins are put at 5mm all round

In earlier versions of FH, I inserted a Text Box into a Diagram simply to provide a Title for the finished Chart. I have tried to do this in the current version (6.2.7): I get a keylined box, right click it and clicking 'Format' I write in the wording I require with some other simple formatting. I t...

Could you tell me the printer's name? - I am having difficulty finding a printer who can cope with my large charts
Many Thanks

Is there any way to remove the Coloured Ribbon Link which appears in a chart if a person shows up in two places?
I don't want to remove (hide) either of the persons' boxes - just Ribbon Link.
[I'm using ver. 6.2.6]
Many thanks

Hello Many thanks for your rapid reply. I have a couple of 'Everyone' Diagrams, but I cannot see any difference to 'All Relatives' Charts, or see any unrelated individuals. Will unrelated individuals appear if I don't have a Root selected? I would try this myself, but as we speak I am deep into a ma...

Could someone please tell me the difference between ALL RELATIVES and EVERYONE Diagrams?

I cannot find this in help.

Version 6.0

Many Thanks

Hi I'm using V.5. In the diagram for this file, I am getting THREE lines for the same people and I just cannot see why. I have built at least 6 diagrams from scratch using this gedcom file and each time I get the triplication. I'm sure I'm being an idiot somewhere. Can you help? The line is Thomas S...

I have Version 3.1.2 installed on my (XP) PC. I wish to retain this untouched - but to install V4 (of which I have a full retail copy) preparatory to upgrading to V5. But ... when trying to install V4, its opening  installation message insists on overwriting my V3.1.2 rather than do a separate insta...
