placing text on the electrical layer

[KathyFortenberry]

Hi all, I am trying to put an electrical legend on the electrical layer and I can't figure it out.  I can't use the electrical symbols because they have to have a wall and if I place the text on the floor plan I can't turn it off when I go to the layout.  And I can't place the symbols directly on the layout!  Anyone? 

 

Thank you,

Kathy

What program are you using? If you're using Chief Architect, then you are in the wrong forum. This is for the Home Designer product lines, which don't have layers for electrical.

Obviously, there are layers associated with electrical. 

 

Home Designer does not let the user decide what goes on a specific layer.

Always say what title and version you are using -- Pro 2020, Suite 2024 etc.

 

You may send views from multiple plans to Layout. Maybe only newer versions have this.

Create your legend in a separate plan, turn off the display of walls and send to Layout.
