Want solid connector after the status date

Question:     

How do I make the horizontal connector between the triangles solid and not dashed after the status line? 

I still want black symbols to the left of the status line and white to the right. How do I make the horizontal connector between the triangles solid and not dashed after the status line?

Answer:

There are two ways to solve this problem.

Method 1: Turn off "fill to status" for bars only

  1. On the Dates tab, in the Date Related Settings section, Bars: Fill to Status Date

Method 2: Use a different connector

Most connectors are sensitive to the status date, meaning that the fill color and fill pattern will change after the status date to indicate the work is in the future. 

  1.  In the toolbox, double click the horizontal connector you are currently using.

  2. For Bar Type, choose # 27.  This bar type is similar to the #1 bar type you are currently using with one difference.  It will not change after the status date.
