Hightlight some activities.

Hi Sundar,

For question #2:
1- U should have a cloud bitmap because P3 doesn’t have any, if u have MS Word then u can find one from the Clip Art (click on Insert-->Clip art and search with keyword: Cloud).
2- Once u got the bitmap from MS Word, copy/paste it in Paint and save it as .bmp (Monochrome Bitmap).
3- Open the schedule in which u want to add the cloud, click on "Insert"-->"Object", 2 windows appear cancel the one titled "Insert Object".
4- Now in the other window (titled "Tools"), click on button showing Triangle, Circle & square (it is used for inserting objects like bitmaps and text).
5- Once pressed, click anywhere in the Gantt Chart area, a window titled "Primavera Symbol Selection" appears, change the "List of File Types" to "Bitmap Files .bmp" and browse to the cloud.bmp which u have saved earlier.’
6- Once selected, it appears in the Gantt Chart, resize it and move to define the activities u want.

That’s all!

Regards,
Karim

Hi Sundar,

You can format the bar of particular activities to change colour and or pattern by selecting the activities then format > selected bars> modify bar format.
Hope this helps.

To cloud out between two dates for the entire programme:
Form the menu choose ’View’; ’Attachment Tools’.
Click on the bottom right tool (two verticals with a squiggle across them).
Click in the bar area and drag to the right.
You now have a shaded area and the dates can be adjusted with the ’handles’ mid way down the screen.

Hope this helps.
