Point Symbol Legend

I wish you could create a symbol legend for survey points or points with active description keys, with options to included or exclude individual points or descriptions. I think Land Development had something like this, though I didn't use it for reasons I can't recall. A dynamic legend for my topo maps would be neat.

I agree, but being a designer, I'd also like to add that a legend should include proposed work as well.  It should have the ability to include not only point objects (existing hydrant, proposed streetlight, etc...) , but also linear objects (existing gurad rail, proposed 18" storm sewerl, etc...), and area objects as well (proposed fill, proposed cut, etc...).

 

I am not a programer, just an engineer, however, it seems that styles based legend table should be fairly easy to develop.

 

"...select which drawings to include in the legend table (by default all xrefs, drawings associated with the project)...; ...select which styles to include in the legend (by default all styles in use, {dynamic/static})..., ...define table categorization..."

It's actually not as easy as you might think...  Smiley Wink

 

We've added a LegendBuilder command to the Sincpac-C3D that does a lot of that, although it's not dynamic.  We're still working on improvements to this command, though, and are open to all feedback.
