Can you Export Plans without specific Measurements / Symbols showing on the Legend?

You cannot choose specific Measurements to show on the Plan. There is no direct way to complete this; however, there is a quick solution.

You can Duplicate your Project and make changes to the Copy, leaving the original Project intact.

  1. Duplicate the Project
  2. Remove the items you don't want shown on the Plan
  3. Export as normal

The Legend does not fit on the Plan. What can I do?

Click Settings to the Text Size to decrease the size of the contents.


My Symbol is only showing faintly on the Legend. How can I fix this?

This usually happens when a custom Symbol has been used with extra thin lines. To fix this, swap the Symbol for a Symbol that has thicker lines.
