The following diagram shows the three stages of creating a family with gedcom import.

Top shows data after import.

Second shows removal of duplicate parents and 'Link as Child'

Third shows what happens when you try to adjust the tree manually

The solution is to 'Snap to the Grid' (Ctrl+A & press G) when the parent child link can be set vertical and then will move with the child.

Is it possible to add the grid snap to the Open/Import routine? I use this quite a lot and probably forget to do this initially about half of the time.

I remember writing code to snap to grid as soon as the import is complete.  Can you please send me a sample Gedcom file and I will investigate the issue.

This attachment is directly from the IGI and contains 3 children of Henry & Mary Smith. If this is opened in GenoPro It is not possible to directly link them properly. If you delete parents for two of the children and then link these to the family line it is impossible to get a vertical line. This means that the link is anchored on the family line and moving the child does not move the link.

The fix for this involves selecting them all and either using Auto-arrange, or snap-to-grid (keyboard G).

Is it possible for GenoPro to snap to grid on open or import gedcom?
