Im using P5, but its ok, what you need to do is adjust the timescale. otherwise cant show what you want when you print it. you can have a test, just display 1 month bar. you will get it.

The timescale has to be in a way (e.g. "week/day"), that P6 is able to show it.
As far as I remember there was a bug in P6.0 which was solved either by a patch or by 6.1. Im using P6.2 - no problem

Hi All,
I have the same predicament too. The neck bars doesnt appear during print preview and printing is there any solution for this I am using P6. Thanks a lot.

Hello Arnold,
Yes I marked both boxes; weekly holidays & suspended period and both of them appeared but I dont need holidays necking because it confuses us.
And when I marked suspended period only the necking appears in primavera window and doesnt appear in print-out I wonder why?

Hello Abeer,
In P6, Bar Settings tab --> Bar Necking Settings, these two options are same with P5.
Did you mark both boxes in this option? I tried with me it is working. May be you miss something.
Keep on trying.
Arnold
Hello Arnold,
Thanks for your reply
Kindly note that, at P5 :
There are two options to select bar necking:
1-calendar nonworking time (weekly holidays like Fridays)
2-activity nonworking intervals (suspended period)
• When I chose #1; the neck appears clearly at primavera window & print-out
• When I chose #2; the neck appears clearly at primavera window and it is not appear at print-out (that is what I need to print-out).
• When I chose #1 + 2; the neck appears clearly at primavera window and print-out.

Hello Abeer,
The reason why it does not appear the bar necking during preview it is because, your page set up is maybe 100% for scaling. Try to adjust or minimize to 80 or 75% normal size. Likewise, try to check your Timescale under option Tab.
Since suspend date cannot be applied without actual start of a certain activity. All you have to do is to assign a special calendar to this activity. Let say, Sept. 20 till Sept. 30 with expected suspend on Sep. 24 and will resume on Sep. 27. Create a new calendar specifying Sept. 24 to Sept. 26 as nonwork.
HTH.
Arnold
