What is the Benefit of Colored Branches? Idea Map #92 and Hint #20

Keep in mind these are not rules that need to be followed, just helpful hint that can be applied depending on your purpose.
- The branches surrounding the central image are sometimes thicker to show that they are a main thought.
- Let's say you have one branch that is red along with all sub branches that attach to it in any way. The ideas are now connected in two ways -- both physically and visually.
- If each main branch (and associated sub branches) is a different it makes the branches stand out from each other.

I read your book with great interest and excitement. I have purchased MindManager and am wondering if you know if it can automatically create branches for subtopics with different colors.

I'm not aware of that feature. Let me do some digging, and if I find a way to do this I'll let you know. I'll also start applying the feature myself if it is available.

Well, I'm finally back with an answer. This response is actually from Denny Sikkila from Mindjet.
He said, "The only way I know how to do this is to first create the map with the colors, line thickness, etc…. Then save that map as a “map template”…..that will open that way the next time. Make sense?
