Really like this plugin, thanks for adding. Is it possible to print it?
Smart plug-in – but could wish for a print button ;-).
I have just recommended it for the two persons I work together with.
Another great plugin from Mike Tate. Very quick single click indeed and nice navigation tool. Would like to have ID’s shown as well, and/or a right click to go focus on an person.
Adding a Print button is almost impossible, but the Windows built-in free Snip & Sketch Tool can easily grab a screen-shot and print or save that. [Rec Id] now added.
Very handy. Thank you Mike.
Thank you Mike. My first venture into installing and using a ‘plug-in’ in FH v6.2.7 and I have found it very useful when deciphering 11 sibling relationships!

For those wanting to print – I have done the snip and print via Paint and it works just fine. I love this plugin 🙂
