Updating older boxcharts

[thomprod]

I have several older Boxcharts that were produced using Reunion 11, 12 and 13. Is there an easy way to update the data on the charts to reflect changes made to the Family File since the charts were produced, similar to the way you can update a Book and then recreate its .pdf file?

You can update the entire chart by opening the chart, then pressing Command+A on your keyboard to select all the boxes in the chart, and finally selecting:

Object -> Update from Family File

From the main menu-bar at the top of the computer screen.

Note that if you don't see the Update from Family File option, that's usually because Reunion isn't sure what family file was used to create the chart. In such cases you should see a Locate Family File... option instead, which will allow you to tell Reunion which family file was used to create the chart.

Also, note that this feature will only update the existing boxes in the chart -- it will not add new people to the chart.
