Setting Up a New Project

I am returning to P6 after some time away and would like to ensure I am setting up my project accurately.  Based on estimates, I need  budgeted labour units (man hours) to be fixed and durations to be automatically generated based on the aforementioned manhours.  I have used resource dependent activity type and fixed units for duration type.  Is this correct?  Budgeted labour units change when i attempt resource loading and I obviously do not want that :)  Any help is warmly welcomed / greatly appreciated!

you can set the activity type as task but for the duration type change this to either fixed units or fixed units per time

also do this at the project level in the default window under duration tpye this way any new activities thet yuo add wil autimatically use this type of duration.

either way is you only change the units this will drive the duration
