Hello,

Recalling from P3 that were able to create a native P3 file from a filtered layout, wonder if possible to do the same in P6.  May be infront of the eyes and not able to see.  Do not want to go to the path of deleting unwanted activities and then create XEr fiile of remaining activity.  Thanks.
