Data Visualisation Legend

[halfcoupler]

is it correct that the automatc creation of data visualisation legeds in viewport annotations can not be switched off/avoided ?

You can always delete it, inside the annotation part of the viewport

Yes but be good to have option of it not appearing at all. When using data viz in conjunction with Materials instead of class overrides you get a lot of legends turning up that you have no need of ever seeing. Often I'll have a few data visualizations active on the design layer to override the texture on different surfaces, then create a Top/Plan VP + get the legends appearing completely unnecessarily since they relate to something I can't even see in top/plan. There's enough to do going in + out of annotations as it is without the extra job of deleting legends!

yes, precisely, same here. It does not make any sense at all to create 20 or more viewports with data-vis-labels, only to go them through one by one, open them , delete the label, close, open next one,delete label, proceed ....

I created a Wishlist item for this as I don't believe it got that far?:

Here is the script to remove legends from all viewports
