through the text.

Transparent causes the text to not obscure any underlying graphics.
» Default is usually the same as Opaque.

Symbol Positioning Example
This schedule has three task rows. Within each task row, the symbols are positioned vertically as upper, lower, and
middle.
The bars follow the positioning of the symbols to which they are attached.
Change a symbol’s position
1. Click once on the symbol on the schedule.
2. Hold the Shift key.
3. Press the up arrow key or down arrow key to shift the symbol position.
If you change the settings for a symbol in the toolbox and that symbol already exists on the schedule, all the
affected symbols are checked to see if they have individual settings that differ from the new default settings. If
so, you are given the opportunity to keep the individual override settings by checking or unchecking the items
you wish to override on the Select Items to Change dialog box.
