DeveloSpec Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I apologize for posting so much,however these are simply questions I could not find the anwer to via google, or searching on the forum. Is there a way to create a legend in the layouts automatically that is auto populated, just like the schedules? I found this one below in a CA sample plan...

GerryT Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Nope -- not with Symbols. You can create a schedule and fill it in via macros using the standard text box and tab alignment -- somewhat. But since Chief does not recognize tabs in macros --- mostly no. Does work well with all text. Most accomplish the above via a combination of symbols, box outlines, and text. -- lots of work. Or do it in Excel and import as a image or meta file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 you can also make one using the cad blocks for electrical symbols in the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Once you've created it in your Layout Template - or have stored it in your library - you never have to make it again. IOW, it's not automatic until you make it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeveloSpec Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Or I can just copy & paste the one that was in the Layout sample from CA!! I guess I was just expecting too much from this software! anyways thanks for the suggestions people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
