Timeline shapes

[Mousuf Chowdhury]

I'm trying to create a timeline drawing and I've run into a problem removing
the date from the milestone shape. I don't want the date to display on the
milestone - just the name of the shape. However, I can't remove the date box
- any ideas ?

Hi Mousuf,

A milestone shapes is build of several subshapes
Check View/draing explorer to see this
Once you locate the milestone in the drawing explorer set the LockGroup
property
in the diamond milestone master to '0'
then you locate the subshape representing the Date text and you change the
lockdelete property to '0'
you can then delete the subshape with the date text
I suggest to set the LockGroup property back to '1'

Be aware that the shape is specifically build with all the subshapes it
contain
so you have corrupted the shape
But I suppose for your purpose it will be enough
