Tagging Legend Components as Sections and Elevations

Anonymous

I am making shop drawings of my cabinets and bar. I want to tag all of these elevation views back to a plan reference view, but you cant make elevation and section views of a legend. Does anyone have an answer on how to make a callout of a floor plan and tag all of my legend components? Attached is one example of a page that is done correctly, but I had to redraw all of my legend components as a drafting view- which was very tedious and i would like to avoid.

If I were doing it, I'd redo them using elevations, and then tag, dimension, etc. That's also what I'd advise doing, to reduce problems and save work in the long run. With that said, if you don't want to redraw or redo what you've done already, you could create a generic section or elevation family. Just create parameters for the numbers to reference the views manually.

A legend is a very bad place for making shop drawings, because you cannot create sections, tags, keynotes, etc. You should use normal views with true sections, true elevations, and true tags. Don´t waste your time doing shop drawings in legend views.
