keynote label shape

[Daron]

is it possible to show the label frame shape within the keynote legend?

this would be very useful for material lists etc. on elevations.

So we can have something like this:

Hi @Daron ,

Thanks for the example.

If we try to automatically get the shape from the label in the drawing, we can see a lot of conflicts potentially occurring - for example '01' is placed twice but with different shapes. Which would it choose? Or if the shapes are different sizes, what size should be selected?

One idea is to borrow what the Revision History object does, with a manual shape selector in the Legend itself.

How are you finding the other formatting options for the legend as well?

James.

I would also like to see this feature and add that we would like to see more options for the shape of the Keynote.  The National Cad Standard for keynotes, in the states at least, is a number inside of a hexagon.  However, I did not see this option when testing the keynote feature.

Thank you

Thanks @Mark Hensler  for the example. Do you only use the Hexagon shape (with flat top/bottom) for your work?

@James B different firms use different shapes, but I agree that having the symbol in the keynote legend is important, particularly in the US.

During planning we did see a lot of other shapes being used - with some being more common than others obviously.

Thanks for the additional feedback.

I would also point how the shape expands with longer is important text as well.

The left side "Scales" to fit, the right side "Stretches" to fit. I prefer the right side for legibility

in most cases, so it would be nice to have this as an option.
