Activity Codes Order

Hi everyone,

I am back with some more problems;

1) My schedule happens to have hundreds of activity codes, which represent different locations of a railway line project. Since locations are sequential, so the order in which these codes are displayed in a report is important. Today I imported a backup copy of the same project at a different location, as a result it shuffled the order of activity codes, and report showed random order of locations. I had to manually re-order them and it was quite laborious. I wonder, should a project import event alter the ordering of the activity codes? If yes then how to stop it, if not then why it happened on the first place?

2) Is there a way to place the timescale at the bottom of the Gantt chart in P3 V5? I remember having this option in P3 V3.1 and loved it. Its useful especially if you have to plot larger area reports.

3) A recently talked about problem, not saving the layout in different levels of collapse.

4) How can I print different calendars?

5) Can we allocate a specific calendar to a ’lag’ of a relationship? For example, a precast segment is to be erected 30 days (working+non working) after finish of precast. If I define a relationship of precast and erection with FS+30, the software would assume 30 ’working days’ lag and would not count weekends and statutory holidays. How do I educate the software that this lag is 30 elapsed days, not working days?

Well so much fun for a single thread :-). Hope it is not oversaturated.

Any helpful comments are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

ZM
