I am using now since several months your GenoPro "2007" software tool(English version) for professional purposes.
Globally it turns out to be a valuable tool helping me in my job.
On regular basis I discover new opportunities to use the tool

The only thing that I have not been able to find out so far is a way to generate clear and comprehensive genogrammes for multi-reconstructed families.


Here is an example of what I can get through your software in the fictive case described here below :
- Currently Mr A lives with Mrs A.
- Mr A was married previously to Mrs. B and than he got divorced
Afetrwards Mr A had a relationship with Ms. C and than he got separated.
- On her side  Ms. A was married previously to Mr D and than got deivorced.

When I introduce this data into GenoPro I get following figure:

I understand the logic of your system, which places all the men on the left side and all women on the right side.
However, this logic makes reading of the genogram more complex especially in case of multiple unions.
I finally managed to switch Mr D to the right side and Mrs. B and C to the left side and got following genogram, which in my opinion is more clear:

Is there a way to set up your tool so that this is done automatically?

Another point which makes the genogram generated by your system for complex situations with multiple relationships sometimes quite difficult to read is that there is only one vertical line for each individual which than connects with other individuals through horizontal lines.
To get a clear and comprehensive representation of multiple relationships it would be great if there could be multiple vertical lines for each individual (one for each different relationship).

Find here below a representation of what I mean:

Could it be possible to get such representation with multiple vertical lines via your software  ?
If not, would it be possible to make this possible in future versions of your software ?
