I am after good quality network logic plots from a P6 schedule I have. The default P6 layout with logic lines overlying each other is not very conducive to following the logic on A0 sized sheets, especially for non Planners. I seem to remember some time ago P6 recommended some additional non Oracle software to enhance their system. Anyone know or can recommend software as a "bolt on" to P6 to give this functionality please?

Ronald,

Thanks for your comments. I have looked again at the network diagram and selected the "activity network options" tab. I am on v8.2 and I don't appear to have an option to timescale the logic plot. In this version there is a modification to help timescale and show logic as a timescaled  barchart, but really want a "basic, easy to use network plot.

I know for MSP you can buy Pertchart or Netronics Graneda to enhance the basic network plot functionality.

Guy,

If you want a nice time-scaled logic diagram, I suggest that you ‘bolt on’ P6 Version 8.  P6 Version 8.1 introduced one such utility and P6 Version 8.3 replaced that with a better one.  Here we go through 7 versions of P6 asking for a time-scaled logic diagram to replace the P3 one and then Oracle/Primavera produces two different versions back-to-back.  I suspect that this product needs better management in the development department.
