Positioning of Husband and Wife boxes

JohnLiddle · Post by **JohnLiddle** » 16 Jun 2007 21:56

Greetings,

I tried this one on the mailing list but there were no takers, so I thought I would try it here......

FH follows the accepted norm in displaying husband and wife boxes in diagrams i.e. husband on the left and wife on the right.

Is it possible to reverse this?

The reason for asking is that the ability to do this would remove the need for long horizontal 'crossing' lines when the husband is the 1st child in a family and the wife has ancestors which you want to display.

I ought to add that my particular interest in doing this would be on the 'All Relatives' diagram.

Best wishes to all,

I think the short answer is no. I have not found a way, on all relations have you tried basing it on a couple. It should drop both members down to the next row

Hi Jane,

thanks for your response.

I have tried basing the 'All Relatives' chart on a couple (by selecting both of them in the records window using ctrl-click), but if I do so, all standard diagram options apart from 'Everyone' are greyed out, so no joy there.

Is this one for the wish list?

Regards,

To base on a couple either use the family record, or what I do is base the diagram on one of them then select them both on the diagram and then click the all relatives button again.
