LEGEND CONTROLS

LEGEND CONTROLS

Two issues. When I select a legend named A and then use "select all instances in model" it doesn't just select all instances of Legend A, it selects all instances of Legends in the model. That's just blatantly bad coding. Select all copies of the individual legend not all legends populated in the project. Secondly if I have a legend on 20 sheets the logical thing for me to do is put my revision cloud inside the legend and not on the sheet itself, why on god's green earth does the revision schedule ignore revision clouds inside legends. Again, blatantly bad coding.

@C-Nasta,

#1. Please remember to only put one idea per post.  These ideas, although related, are two different ideas.  

#2. The first idea in your post, mostly makes sense.  Although in all my years I don't think I've needed to select all instances of a type of a Legend.  I only need to select one of them, make the change and it changes all of them.  If you are selecting them all to move them all the same amount on the sheet, with 2026 we now have Saved Positions, so you could definitely make a saved position for that legend and every instance of that legend will move to that position.  The Select All tool selects by type, so it should select all of a particular type of Legend, (not individual legend), but that doesn't work either, so your idea to fix that inconsistency is good.  

#3. The second part of your idea is already out there.  I searched for "revision legend" and the very first post is: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/revision-cloud-inside-legend-view/idi-p/8199649

@C-Nasta 

Something I just realized...  it is actually picking all of the same Viewport types.  So you think you're selecting all of the legends and you're just selecting all of every view that is using that same Viewport...  which multiple types of a view can use the same Viewport type.  That actually makes more sense, because that is what you have picked, not the View, but rather the Viewport.  

 

So my question becomes, how are you actually selecting a Legend and then selecting, "Select All Instances > In Entire Project"??  Those options are greyed out on my system.
