I downloaded the trial software and have loaded most of our large family onto a genogram.  I am trying to display all the various families on one genomap to be able to print it out in one pdf file but cannot load some of the families without overlapping the relation property lines (which then forms a cross).

Is there no way of having a new family relation property line cross over another line without touching it? (eg. looping over it)

I tried Autoarrange but it just messes up my already neat layout.

Where I have that problem I change the colour of one of the lines so it is obvious who is connected to who.

You can also change the thickness of the lines.

If you select a pedigree link line then you drag it to any shape you want by dragging the blue handles. including a 'loop' - see the link below for son1b. You can also insert a 'break' in a family line crossing a pedigree link by first changing its z-order position by selecting it and then use the [ key. Then drag a small square shape with a white border under the pedigree link at the intersection point. see son1b & son1c links below. It is not possible to draw such a small shape with the GenoPro tools but it can be imported, for example, from a GenoPro format .ged file as per attached. I have placed a small red square at the centre of the shape to make it somewhat visible - see end of blue arrow below. This is hidden when under a pedigree link. Because this shape is so small it is not possible to click on it and then drag it to the required position as GenoPro will drag the border line instead. But you can either cut (Ctrl & x) or copy (Ctrl & c) the shape and then paste (Ctrl & v) near the required position and immediately drag with mouse before clicking to release.

The .ged file contains:

0 HEAD
0 SHAPE
1 POSITION
2 SIZE S
2 Z 60
2 POINTS 2,0,2,2,-2,2,-2,-2,2,-2,2,0
1 DISPLAY
2 COLOR
3 LINE #FFFFFF
3 FILL #FF0000
0 TRLR
