Time Scale Options

Schedule

Selecting a schedule indicates that a time axis is to be drawn across the top of the network diagram and nodes are to be positioned horizontally according to the values of the selected schedule start times. The minimum and maximum values are used to determine the time axis. You can choose from the baseline, early, late, and resource-constrained schedules.

Suppress Time Axis

When this check box is selected, no time axis is drawn on the network diagram; however, nodes are still positioned horizontally according to the Schedule option.

Draw Linear Time Axis

When a time axis is being drawn on the network diagram, the axis is divided up into even intervals based on the duration unit. By default, only those intervals (columns) that contain at least one activity are drawn. When this check box is selected, all intervals are drawn. In some cases, this selection may cause the network diagram to span many pages in the horizontal direction.

Show Time Axis Breaks

When this check box is selected, breaks in the time axis are indicated by drawing a jagged break in the time axis line just before the tick mark corresponding to the break. The time axis is determined by the setting of the Schedule option.

Draw Reference Lines

When this check box is selected, a reference line is drawn at every tick mark (column) along the time axis. Reference lines are vertical lines drawn at specific positions along the time axis to indicate time intervals. The time axis is determined by the setting of the Schedule option.

Show Ref. Line Breaks

When this check box is selected, breaks in the time axis are indicated by drawing a zigzag line down the network diagram just before the tick mark corresponding to the break. The time axis is determined by the setting of the Schedule option.
