Hi Mark, thanks for the help. But sadly the Data tag tool is not quite what i need. I need a tool, that creates a summary of all symbols used on a layer (and specific classes) and counts them. I've attached a test file with a viewport, Construction layer and Layout layer. Many thanks in advance! And happy new year @all! huge_legend_testing.vwx

Its not the label legend. Sadly i can't get the English version of VW, so i can only describe where you can find the tool I'm trying to use: It can be found in the "Measuring/Labeling" toolset (the ruler and the pencil). For me it's the 18th tool, three under the hyperlink tool. The icon is a rectangle with three litte squares inside (green/blue/red) and text beside these squares. On my Sheet Layer i want to have for each symbol the symbol icon, the count of the symbols and the name of the symbol (so that people wo aren't familiar with the symbols can easily read and understand the planning). (sorry for the confusion, i'm not a nativ English speaker 😕)

Hi Mark, The first screenshot shows the symbol. The second screenshot shows a testfile (on the Construction Layer). Until now it all works fine. Now I create a new Viewport (green rectangle in the second screenshot) and import it into a new Sheet Layer. If I'm now inserting a legend (same style as in screenshot 1), this happens (third screenshot). My goal is to have the same legend in my Sheet Layer as in my Construction Layer. I'm guessing, that the bounding box of the legend is so big, because of the 3D symbol. As soon as I turn the symbol into a pure 2D symbol (by deleting all 3D components) the legend is back to the normal size. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help@michaelk! Sadly none of these options could help me. 1) Didn't had any effect on the legend. 2) I cant select only this symbol because it's is part of the legend. 3) I've recreated my symbol from scratch, same problem as before. As I've played around with the symbol definition i noticed that all works fine until i add 3D geometry. Everything in my Sheet Layer is 2D and the symbol is drawn correct in the legend (second screenshot), but it seems, that the legend always becomes the 3D Bounding Box of the Symbol (first screenshot).

Hi guys, i've used my own symbol in the drawing. My goal is to have a layoutview, with a part of my drawing and a legend. If i'm inserting the legend into the drawing it all works fine but if i'm inserting the legend into the layoutview (A4) the legend becomes huge (1,942 x 0,7m). Because this is only happening if i'm using my own symbol, i'm assuming it has something to do with my symbol definition. Does anyone know, whats wrong? Thanks in advance!
