This data object manages the data for live legends in CAFM drawings and Aperture visualizations. It stores information such as legend names, drawing assignments and foreground and background colors for the visual display. The legend contains up to nine value fields that allow flexible adaptations to different display requirements. This data is used in the CAD integration context to create dynamic legends in technical drawings and 3D models to support the interpretation of CAD data in facility management processes.
Identification
In this info area you will find information that can be used to identify the data record. This is usually the code and the name, together with other important information.
| Property | Description |
| CAFM Drawing | Specification of the CAFM drawing to which this legend line refers. Relevant for Aperture legends. |
| Live Legend | Selection of the legend to which this data entry belongs. This value is generated automatically. |
| Drawing Number | Line number for the legend line. The lines are displayed in ascending order from top to bottom. |
Caption Data
This group includes attributes for describing and managing live legend entries. It contains information such as legend text, symbols and display options for the dynamic display of legend elements.
| Property | Description |
| Row 1 | This field contains the first value of the legend for CAD data. It is part of the legend information and is used to label or identify elements in CAD drawings or models. The data entered here contributes to the correct interpretation and display of the CAD information. |
| Line 2 | Second value field of the legend. |
| Line 3 | This field contains the third entry of the legend for CAD data. It is used for structuring and labeling drawing elements and enables precise assignment of information to the objects shown in the CAD drawing. |
| Line 4 | This field contains the fourth value of the legend information for CAD data. It is used for the flexible storage of additional labels or attributes that are required for the complete display and interpretation of the legend in CAD drawings. |
| Floor | This field is used to specify the floor for which the legend data is valid. |
CAD Representation
This group contains features for color-coding live legend rows. The colour coding is used to visually highlight and categorize data in the legend.
| Property | Description |
| Color | Output of the Aperture color value or the # for displaying the color of this legend line. |
| hatching | Output of the Aperture hatching value or the equivalent stored in eTASK. Hatching becomes visible if the color and background color have different values. |
| Background Color | Output of the Aperture color value or the # for displaying the background color of this legend line. The background color is visible when using a hatching pattern that is not fully filled. |
