Specificatons

For small projects we generate a specification sheet. Organized first to address General Requirements and then categorized by trade. I am having it typed directly on the sheet I have a feeling this is a mistake. Is there a more logical way to handle this?

You know this is a good question. I have a contractor that wants the choice of specs or no specs on the projects we do per site. What I did was made the notes on the other sheets general like general door size and type, min window size and type and then placed all schedules on one sheet. This way if he wants specs then the title sheet updates to reflect "specs and shedules" and this gets included or it is left off on that print out.

Not sure that this is the best method either but it works for now. We are also doing residential and not appartment, hospitals, etc. Could not begin to determine the best method for that.

Hope this little bit helps.

The benefit to using a Legend is that it is much more portable. You can drag it onto the sheet, save as a file for another project, have several varieties for other uses/jurisdictions, etc.

On the sheet isn't terrible, just not as flexible. And probably not that hard to move later.

Thank you both for the response. I can see the value in creating a legend that can be updated and modified. Looks like I'll see if I can move the text, I am assuming it can be moved. But for this project It looks fine. I am unsure as to how I can change the font. Any suggestions?

I have not done much with legends but text editing pretty much works the same. Highlight the text and go to properties. From there you can click on edit/new and then I would click duplicate and rename it something else. Then go to text font and change font. Hope that this will work for you.
