GeneaQuilts uses a gedcom file to form their chart Progeny's version is in their Charting Companion. I ordered the Charting Companion for Legacy. You can order it for several programs like FTM as well). When I open the program, it automatically searched for my Legacy files, and created a list of the files available. Then I chose the file I wanted and then it created the chart from that file which was not a gedcom file.
IF your family file is small and everyone is connected to one another, it works fine. I exported only one of my direct lines to a smaller file (roughly 900 people descended from one person). It created the file ok without a lot of problems or waiting. Still, the more generations there are, the more confusing the Trellis becomes. With 14 generations it was almost impossible to follow it. Using my full file for the one location study in Termini (58000+ people), there are too many families that are NOT connected to others. It tries inserting these families wherever it can and they do not really fit. 4 generations was an astronomically large number of pages and I once it went past the first generation, I couldn't see a full generation on the monitor at one time on a 22" monitor.
