Copy a legend from one schedule to another

Question:     

I have a perfect legend on one of my schedules.  Now I want to copy it to another schedule.   

 

Answer:

  1. Open both schedules in the same instance of Milestones (a single Milestones window with two files open).   First, copy the legend.  Then copy the toolbox .
  2. Right-click the legend.
  3. Choose Copy Legend.
  4. On the View tab choose Switch Windows and move to a different schedule.

  5. Once in the new schedule, right-click the legend and choose Paste Legend.   

   

 

Copy the toolbox too!

It's also necessary to copy and paste the toolbox (if you want all the same symbols!)

  1. Again, both schedules should still be open in the same instance of Milestones (a single Milestones window with two files open). 
  2. Right-click the toolbox.
  3. Choose Copy Toolbox.
  4. On the View tab choose Switch Windows and move to a different schedule.

  5. Once in the new schedule, right-click the legend and choose Paste Toolbox.   

             

 Each time you open an independent Milestones window, it is called an "instance." Users can have multiple instances of Milestones open at a time. You can tell how many instances of Milestones are currently open by viewing the Windows Taskbar. To copy and paste between two schedules, you must perform the operation within the same instance of Milestones. When two schedules are open in the same instance of Milestones, you copy and paste your toolbox from one schedule to the other.
