    2. Click Duplicate
    3. Remove the items you don't want shown on the Plan
    4. 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.

    No. You can only change the Text Size on the Legend.
