Hi all

I have a plan with WBS and some activities.

I Insert an activity between 2 activities and set its ID (for example in Tank1).

when I copy WBS and paste (for Tank2), the last inserted activity is created in end of created activities (in new ID sequence).all things ir right, only activity IDs are not as source.

Why and what must i do?

Thanks

I am using P6.0 (sql server)

I suggests as follows:

1. In the EPS pane Create 2 Projects Tank 1 and Tank 2.

2. OPen both Project then Create in Tank 1 all WBS and Activities as you wish.

3. Upon Completion of Tank 1, On the WBS Pane, copy all the WBS from Tank 1 into Tank 2.

4. You will get exactly the same as your requirements.

 

Hope this will help.

Hi,

Activity ID's are Unique for every Project. Similar Act ID is not allowed within a Project.

 

Hope this will help.

Thankssss for your attention,

 but the problem is i make a WBS by activities (for ex.):

 _______ A1000 - Course 1 fitup

 _______ A1010 - Course 2 fitup

 then i insert:

_______ A1000 - Course 1 fitup

 _______ ---> A1005 - Course 1 Alignment

 _______ A1010 - Course 2 fitup



 when i copy and paste WBS level, the new activities is:

 _______ A1020 - Course 1 fitup

 _______ A1030 - Course 2 fitup

_______ A1040 - Course 1 Alignment

But i need to be:

_______ A1020 - Course 1 fitup

_______ A1030 - Course 1 Alignment

_______ A1040 - Course 2 fitup 

why isn't?

Thanks

thats how the setting work if you go to the Projects directory and make sure that you project is highlighted

click on the defaults tab

look at the auto numbering setting at the bottom the default for the dfault tab is Activity prefix A Suffix 1000 and increment 10. So if you have 2 activties lets say 1000, 1010 and go to add one it will automatically make it 1020 how could the program possibly read your mind and say oh let's make it 1005 not 1020

if you do not want to use this function uncheck increment Activity ID based on selected activity.
