ellz Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 You need to make sure that you have either DOGFORM60.FMX or USDOGFORM60.FMX open in the program. These are you form template files. On the left of the program will be the "chooser bar". If you don't have any form files open, you probably won't see an option for Forms. But in this dropdown menu is a tab for Pedigrees. Click on this and you'll have a heap of different display options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 highlight on the dogs name in the database, then look at the side bar for the option you want for 5 gen pedigree and click on that, the pedigree then opens infront of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an easy programme to learn initially but does get better and is more useful once you get the hang of it. You've done the first step - the laborious task of putting pedigrees in. Now with either a pedigree highlighted on the 'grid' view, or on a 'single view', click pedigrees on the lefthand side, and choose the pedigree you want - ie how it's set up or how many generations. It will throw up a pedigree for you. You can save the pedigree to your computer files by clicking File, then save as picture - name it and save. You only have the choice of a picture file unfortunately. Another good use for this programme is to compare mating pedigrees - ie, if you intend a girl, but are unsure as to who to put her to - do a new record named - Mary/Buster (ie the names of the two dogs) and use these dogs as the sire/dam - then ask for a pedigree. It will of course bring up a combined pedigree which would then be the pedigree of the puppies of the mating. I find this very useful to make final decisions on matings and keep a check on line breedings etc. There's more useful elements to the programme, but that's enough mind-boggling info to play with for now. Stick with it - it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
