Hi,

I am using P6v7 with service pack 3, and i am able to get the non-working times in my prinout. I tried creating a PDF with a PDF printer and i was able to get the printout. Can you tell me what timescale are you using and on what paper size are you trying to print?

I have the same issue and I am using P6 v7.

I am trying to show non work period on my layout, when I chose bar necking it appears on my screen but as soon as I go to Print preview or print it’s gone, how I can solve this?

I just checked with different printers and pdf. All were ok. But if you don’t see it in the print preview, it won’t be printed. Print preview already uses the driver for the printer that you access.



Maybe it was fixed with 6.2.



Good luck!

You jammy s*d Dieter. V6.2 fixes it? Well, I must get on to my I.T. chaps and get it loaded...

Nope, that doesn’t work for me. If it’s not visible on the preview screen, it won’t print out on paper/pdf.



Primavera acknowledge it is a real problem. There is a workaround using User defined fields and Global Change but it is not elegant and needs running each time you wish to print.

Hi



As I don’t like the necking of bars I can’t remember if I ever tried.

I just tried to print - it worked. We use P6.2

I’m sorry to report that this feature is a bug in P3e and is subject to a "future enhancement". Primavera-speak for "it’s broken".



One day....

Hi Jonathan,



Try to adjust the "% Normal Size" in Page Setup.
