The Legend tab of the Display Settings allows you to display a legend of the items on your design.
- Load an existing design or create a new design.
- Right-click on the frame or floor plan and select Legend.
- The Display Settings for Legend dialog box opens.
- In the Legend tab of the Label Display Settings pane, select the options that you want to include in the legend.
No Legend: Disables the legend for the current view (Display tab).
Automatic legend: Displays floor plan or elevation numbering and the configured legend for all items in the selected catalog(s).
Selected object(s): Displays numbering and the configured legend for items that you manually select in the "Categories" pane.
Keep numbering: Enables you to keep track of the order in which you place items on the plan and enables you to move or hide items in a legend. This also prevents the loss of the numbering order when an item is deleted from the legend. For example, if you have three units labeled 1, 2 and 3 and you delete or hide unit 2, unit 3 will keep label 3. If the "Keep numbering" option was not selected, cabinet 3 would become cabinet 2.
Note: To enable the Keep Numbering check box, you need to clear the Use same item number in all views check box in the Legend section of the Preferences dialog box.
- In the Legend Display References pane, select the references that you want to include in the legend: User Code, Manufacturer Code, Floor Plan description, Price.
- In the Catalogs pane, select the check boxes for the catalog(s) to include in the legend.
- In the Categories pane, click the plus (+) sign beside a category and select the specific subcategories and items that you want to include in the legend.
Numbering representation for the legend items and add-ons
When you assign add-ons to items, the default numbering representation for the legend items and their add-ons is shown in the example below. With this new default setting, add-ons are displayed under their respective items and numbers are enumerated in nested list.
If you wish to have add-ons displayed at the same level as other items, go to File > Preferences > Legend and clear the check box Display Add-Ons under corresponding item.
