Data Visualization Legend

[Ben3B]

Hello in VWX 2021 helps I can read :

Quote

If a legend is accidentally deleted, create a new one from the annotation space of the viewport. Right-click on the drawing and select Create Data Visualization Legend from the context menu.

But when I right click on the drawing  i can't find "Create Data Visualization Legend" 
where I'm wrong

Thanks !

I believe you need to have a Data Visualisation Active in the Sheet Layer Viewport and you also need to be in the Annotation section of the Viewport as well.

How do we control the class where the legend will be created?

And why do I have a legend with the text in RED colour?

What are the default settings on the attributes palette?

I think the legend is just created in whatever the active class is.

I am getting unpredictable/inconsistent behaviour with the legend text colour. Sometimes I am able to control it via the Attributes Palette or the class attributes but other times not. So I have managed to change the text to red colour but now nothing I am doing is allowing me to change it back again. This is in VW2024. I have not tried deleting the legend + recreating it or closing/reopening the file or restarting VW but those would be my next steps if I had the time/inclination to investigate it further... Plus check whether the behaviour is the same in VW2023.

I didn't have anything red selected in my attribute palette.

I am still in VW2023 for now, at the end of January I will migrate to VW2024, and I also verify this unpredictability.

Maybe is it a bug?

Certainly felt that way to me but it's not functionality I'm ever likely to use so little incentive for me to pursue further... You should prepare a test file + submit as a bug:
