Hello All,

So I am not new to P6 but have forgotten most of the skils for not having to use it.

My question as the subject line mentinos is if you could delete predecessor form multiple activities. Please advice.

 

Thanks

Yes you can!

select one of the activities with the offending predecessors

in the "activity detail" window, select "Predecessors" tab

highlight the offending predecessor or predecessors (yes you can delete multiple predecessors)

Click
the "Assign" button on the bottom

once the 
"Assign Predecessors" widow opens go back to your schedule layout and "Ctrl" select all of the activates with the offending predecessor

Go back to "Assign Predecessors" window, click the red "X" button.

I suggest to select all activities with the same predecessor then from the predecessor window select the predecessor activty then unlink by clicking the red button x.

within P6 you can only delete multiple predecessors from and activity but you can not delete the same predecessors from multiple activities.

You can do this with sdk and the associated spreadsheet.

EVERYTHING is based on the activity id not the predecessor id
