* Alternatives to linking lines for duplicates on charts

[Hissey]

I am a regular user of Family Historian and often use charts. I understand the duplicate button and how to avoid the coloured looping link lines that appear where eg cousins married and you have duplicate lines in the family tree. Is there a different way, however, of having the chart indicate that there is a duplicate line? Where I have a large family tree with multiple generations I want to avoid the duplicate lines being shown (for space saving reasons) but would like an indication that the family line is shown elsewhere on the diagram (eg with a note automatically appearing in the box of the duplicate stating that it is a duplicate, or with a name shown in italics, or via an automatic number note saying "see ...").

Thanks.

You might be able to do something with the Relationship(...) or RelationCode(...) functions with the 4th Parameter set to 2 so that a non-empty return value indicates multiple relationship paths.

However, it may be simpler to just add a Record Flag to such Individuals with duplicate relationship paths and use that Flag to trigger a Diagram feature such as a Text Scheme item, box colour, Icon, etc.

Thanks, sounds complicated but I'll try!
