Rotating the Color fill legend

[ruben_rivera]

Is there any way of rotating the color fill legend after a view has been placed on a sheet? I noticed that the color fill legend rotates with the view and appears to have no way of disassociating from the view. 

In this example the plan was rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to maximize the sheet (11x17). Another sheet size is out of the question. Changing the scale to orientate the plan vertically on the sheet is out of the question......any thoughts?

not a to bright way,  but can be done if making a View Duplicate as Dependent and use both with the parent View on Sheet . The parent View is rotated on sheet and inside the Title Block and the Dependent View, not rotated ,outside the Title Block , excepting the Color Scheme Legend....

Thanks, I answered my own question just after posting my question by doing the exact thing you mentioned.

Hey @ruben_rivera

A second idea ... you can just rotate a crop view ...This rotate the color scheme on the sheet then just reposition the legend.

I use the same to align spot elevations to angled walls on the sheet ...(the less the views in the browser the better) But if you insist on a duplicate as dependant you can use the same trick in order not to bring 2 views on a sheet. It will be just the duplicate dependant and rotate it's crop view...And the Room Tags are maintained straight similar to the legend. Unlike above

I prefer this method, because it is neater. No need for extra views.

But I would keep in mind that when you rotate the view, it sometimes looks like it didn't rotate it 90 degrees sharp. for some reason.
