Deleting from Legend

[Think Water Albany]

Hi Folks,
I have unintentionally inserted a product in the Legend box & do not know how to delete without deleting all the other items as well.

Hi Rod,

I'm not sure if you mean the product is part of the legend or simply has been placed on top of the legend.

1) If the product is an item in the design that you do not want in the legend select the plot template and explode it. Then select and explode the legend. You can now delete or edit the legend as required.

2) If the product should not be in the design or the legend but you can't find it place another item of the same type in a clear space and by selecting everything and using Delete Type you can use the one you just placed as the representative of items to delete.

3) If the product was drawn on top of the legend and you can't select it to delete it you can:-
a) turn off the PLOT_TEMPLATE layer so you should now be able to easily see and select the item
or
b) hold the Ctrl key before clicking in the area of the item. A list will appear so you can select the item you require to delete or change.

I trust this helps.

Hi Joe, thankyou for that info. I have narrowed it down to point #1, I have selected the Plot Template, but .... explode it?? Am not getting any result! RM

Hi Rod,

Select the whole plot layout and then use Modify|Explode. Now select the legend you want to change and explode it. This can be a bit tricky because there is usually a fill that is behind the legend as well. You can turn fills off in Settings|Drawing Items or use the Ctrl key to select the correct item before actioning Modify|Explode.
