Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello PPs,
I am currently moving from P3 to PM5, and I have a lot of (silly?) questions:
Why does PM5 display the relationship lines between the baseline bars instead of the planned bars?
Thanks for your help
Alexandre

You’ll find it’s caused by the relative position of the two bars in the "Bars" setup screen. The relationship lines will default to the higher listed bar.

Right click on the gantt area and take the "Bars" option. You will now see all the available bars with your choices checked. Try to visualise this as a stack with those nearer the top covering/overlaying those below when finally displayed. Your baseline bar is most likely sitting above the "work" bars at present. Highlight it and use the "shift up" or "shift down" buttons on the r/h side to demote it to a suitable point.
