Expand all diagram boxes

Post by PeterWieland » 21 Jan 2017 11:25

Maybe I'm missing something, but it used to be that when I opened a diagram (in particular 'All Relatives', but I think this applies to all diagrams) all levels were expanded.

Recently when I open a diagram I only have a couple of generations up and down expanded, and no side branches expanded.

This makes it impossible to use the 'Find in Diagram' option in the Edit menu, because it will only search in expanded branches.

With almost 5000 people in my tree, manually expanding every branch is not an option. Is there a way to automatically expand all branches in a diagram?

I'm on v 6.2.2 and haven't updated recently so that isn't why it has changed.

Use Diagram>Options>General tab and set the Generations up and Generations down both to All. Make sure that the Save as default option at the bottom is ticked before clicking OK.

This setting must have been changed to 2 generations and accidentally saved as the default at some time.

Thanks Lorna, that did the trick!

No idea how it changed, I haven't changed any diagram settings for ages!
