So i have opened my schedule today in p6 and relised someone else has copy parts of my project into their's as they needed the same type of activities in there schedule.

 

However when they have copied and pasted the WBS it they seem to have had the Only between copied activiies un checked (in the copy activity options) and thus i now have hundreds of inter project links as it is maintaining those links from my schedule.

 

How can i quickly removed these as there are hundreds

    you have several options

    Option 1  go to tools schedule 

    select options

    then select ignore relationships to and from other projects

    option #2

    filter for all activities

    right click columns 

    expand the dates availability on the left and choose

    External Early Start and also choose External Early Finish

    now in the External Early Start column Blank out the dated 

    now do a fill down a

    Now do the same thing for the External Early Finish Column

    Option #3

    go to tools

    global change

    New (on the right)

    Where  (leave this line blank)

    then

    External Early Start = (leave the rest of the line blank)

    and

    External Early Finish = (leave the rest of the line blank)

    then on the right select change

    then commit changes

     

    what ever option that you choose make sure to run the schedule calculations after you run your option

    Dears,

    I have copied part of a network in another schedule which already have the same predecessors and successors. now the problem is that the imported activities relationships are still linked to the previous project. how can I determine all these external links and connect them to this schedule?

    Thanks in advance...
