Legends affecting sheet scale

[kenmarcus]

Does anyone know if there is an workaround or option to have the sheet scale filter out or exclude the scale from legend views?

I am using legends for various graphical solutions: partition and symbol legends, general plan notes, etc. and I just noticed that if your legends are created at a different scale from the floor plan then you get an "As Indicated" on the sheet scale instead of the drawing scale.

If I change all of the legends to be the same scale then this issue will go away but it would be a significant amount of work to repeat though-out the remaining legends. It would then seem that every time you have a project or drawing created at a different scale you will need to change the scale to match on all of the related legends just so that the scale reads properly on the sheet.

I'm dealing with the same issue. Have you found a solution?

hmm that sounds odd.

We have a legend view with some general notes that usually get placed on more than one sheet. The scale for that view is 1 : 1. When I place it on a sheet with both a 1/8" floor plan and 1/16" roof plan, it still shows the scale of 1 : 1 for that legend view. I usually change the view title to one with no scale shown below the title.

But I use legend views for door and frame elevations, as well, and I've never run into problems with how the scale is indicated on the sheet.

I am at the same point (i think) as you are.
What I'm trying to solve is how this effects the titleblock scale. I don't want it to say "As Indicated" just because the legend is a different scale that the plan view.
Ideally, I would like the titleblock to have an option to 'ignore legend scale'

You can use a slighty different version of your titleblock family. One type that shows the Revit "scale" and another that either shows "fixed" text or a label/parameter that you can enter the desired scale to show. If you use the same family then yes/no parameters can be assigned to the labels/text to define when they are visible.

ahh so it's a titleblock issue. Yeah we never put the scale in the title block because we almost always have varying scales on every sheet.

I appreciate this. The default behavior could be to have revit fill out the scale but have an instance parameter on each sheet. Nice tip steve!:)

That solution dose work but it loses the parametrics of the sheet reporting the drawing scale, I think that the solution is to edit the legend views so that they do not report a scale, like an immage. but is this possible? prehaps this something for autocad to sort out. I have made a issue sheet template that is parametric and contains schedules in
this instance I had made the scale and sheet size non parametric but I am not happy, Everyting in Revit should be parametric or we are slipping back into AutoCAD mode.
