Custom Diagram not saving all information

Post by Guest » 08 Nov 2005 21:56

I have just started using Family Historian and I using version 2.3.5. I am having problems with Standard Diagrams All Relatives. I have a very complicated family and to get all the information I need to show on the diagram I am having to Override the Default Text in individual boxes. I have done this several times then saved the diagram as Custom Diagram but when I open the the Custom Diagram it has not saved the Text I have put in. Any help will be gratefully recieved.

Unfortunately Custom Diagrams do not retain that information in 2.3

What additional information do you want to add? You can customise the diagrams to include any event or attribute.

Please can you tell me how to do this. I cannot see anywhere in diagrams to do this. The information I want to put in the boxes is to do with children who are adopted and about name changes. When I get further into my tree there is other information I need to put in.
Thank you for your help [smile]

Just add the fields you want to display to the text scheme. This is covered in the manual. Look at section 7 around page 70.

Release 3 looks like it will cover lots more customisations.
