Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello Folks,

I need your help in this. 

While I know that the Relationship line colours (black and red) cannot be changed in P6, I need help in changing the relationship line size/thickness. Especially the red one for Critical Path. I have searched  through the menus and option but with no luck. I noticed the lines are quite fine when in activity page, but once I get into the print preview, the Critical Path Relationship lines gets uncomfortably bigger and shows as such when printed. Below is an example of what I mean.

Regards

You can't directly do that. However there are two possible workarounds. 

1)Print the layout in PDF and Then use Adobe Acrobat professional Post Production tools > Fix Hairline option to change line sizes to whatever you are need it to be. Sometimes this is not successfull and you need more advance programs like Pit stop.

Or:

2)The other simpler option is using visualizer to draw the gant chart and using visualizer option> lines >relationships > line thikness to change the relationship line thikness. I prefer this method as I can change anything from colors of diffrent relationship types, style, weight and even line drawing styles. and yes the relationship colors can change but in visualizer.
