Draw in a Network Diagram
in [Project]
|
From: Charlie on 31 Jan 2006 15:02 I use Project 2000.. Is it possible to use the "Draw" toolbar in a Network Diagram or Calendar? For my Gantt charts, I add images, arrows , text and images etc. and it greatly improves the readability of the charts. When I try it with the Network Diagram, the draw tollbar is greyed out??? Do later versions of Project allow for annotations Thanks, charlie

The only thing that kind of worked was the line tool between network "boxes" - using it created a link. John Project MVP

From: Charlie on 1 Feb 2006 11:24 Thanks Mike! Can anyone suggest an add-in or product which works with MS Project that would allow me to "annotate" on my Pert/Network Diagrams? I used a package 15 years ago called MacProject which allowed me to do this effortlessly:-( In the meantime, here is what I am trying... I downloaded a product called PERT Chart EXPERT by Critcaltools ....but it seems to have the same limitatation... My next step may be save a bmp version from PERT Chart EXPERT, then import the bmp into Visio for further editing...??? Any suggestions will be appreciated, Thanks again, Charlie "Mike Glen" wrote: > Hi Charlie, > > Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :) > > The drawing tools only work in the Gantt Chart view, sorry :) > > FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at > this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm > > Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :) > > Mike Glen > MS Project MVP > > Charlie wrote: > > I use Project 2000.. > > > > Is it possible to use the "Draw" toolbar in a Network Diagram or > > Calendar? > > > > For my Gantt charts, I add images, arrows , text and images etc. and > > it greatly improves the readability of the charts. > > > > When I try it with the Network Diagram, the draw tollbar is greyed > > out??? > > > > Do later versions of Project allow for annotations > > > > Thanks, > > > > charlie > > > >
