How can I create a network diagram independent of time and dates?
Sometimes, it may be desirable to create a plan without focusing on dates. While it is impossible to truly ignore the time-scale, the effect can be achieved easily. If starting with a blank schedule, turn off the dates (and/or times) for all new activities created. Click Objects > Set Default Properties for New Activities… from the menu bar and uncheck the boxes next to Dates (and/or Times). Next, click Schedule > Modify Settings… from the menu bar and choose the Displays Tab. Uncheck the Project Start, Project Completion, Holiday Line, and all Calendar Strips and Sightlines. Now, the only indication of time will be at the cursor (when it hovers over the canvas) and the duration. You may go a step further and turn off the duration for all new activities and change the default calendar to “Calendar Day Calendar” so the cursor date always shows black.
