This was the best I could come up with: (URL) I created one big event for LDView spanning from its original release until Dec 31 2010, and then created a point event for each release. --Travis (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Never mind. After playing with it, I see that it doesn't want things that occur in sequence to be at the same vertical location. --Travis (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Can't you just make the end date of the current release of any software be some point in the future? Then, make the end date of each previous version one day before the release date of the next version. If it's doing what it sounds like based (...)

(...) snip (...) snip (...) I could not get the prog to do what I want. It places the events on the line it wants, not like I want. I did not find a way to tell the prog that I want some events on the same line. I think for what we want to do this (...) (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) THANK YOU. I used the start/end for the beginning/end of MLCad in the current timeline. Want to code these up in the XML format and email or post for me to include? Mike Heide suggested using start/end points for each version so there's a line (...) (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I agree with you on each tool being a line, or at least groupings of tools being together. However I haven't figured out how to get the timeline to do that just yet. It seems to me that it takes the next available space for a line. You post (...) (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Timeline of software tools and timeline of events should be in a separate document. For the timeline of software tools I would like to have a point at every version change (like the initial you have already in the spreadsheet) and a blue (...)

(...) With some further playing, I started adding a few events. That goes beyond the scope of software tools. I don't know how to create a separate band for events or even if it's possible. I like the idea of having one for software only. It gives a (...) (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Here is my working file of the timeline: (URL) It's not 100% to what's in the spreadsheet, but it gives a good idea of what's possible. The system has some limitations.

I'll post it when I have a bit more info filled in, then we (...) (16 years ago, 18-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
