Dear friends
Tried to "File/Import..." file (see attachment), selecting "Import Full Gedcom file" in Summary tab and in "Option tab" selecting the option "Auto detect / Auto Select". The results is very messy/decently unreadable. What do I wrong? Do you make this work?
BR, Jarmo

Interesting looking tree.
There is an "Auto Arrange" button at the top, but the tree is already "auto arranged". Go to Table Layout ... then Individuals ... and then click on Last Name to sort by surname. Decide how many genomaps you want to have in your tree, eg, one for Hella, another for Henttu, etc ... You usually just need a Genomap for the major families in your tree. Use your mouse to draw a box around one family (eg, father, mother, and a daughter) to select it. Then right click, and Move to GenoMap ... New GenoMap ... it will automatically name the genomap with the male surname. I usually use the females to connect the trees together. You'll see the daughter is now a hyperlink, and if you click her, you will jump back to the main tree. You can do one family at a time until you get good at it. Ctrl +Z will undo any mistakes. Once you've cleared up the tree a little bit, you can auto arrange each genomap, or lay it out the way you prefer it to look.
