   • You can use Precision of calculation to switch the precision setting for drawing files from earlier versions that were drawn with standard precision (+ = real*4).

   • Select the elements you want to include.
     Click in the Input Options to find elements based on advanced criteria (e.g. material).
     This is done in the same way as in the Find Elements tool.
     

     • To select a single element, click it.
     • To select elements in a region, use the left mouse button to open a selection rectangle around the elements you want to select
     • To include all the elements in the current document, click All in the Input options or press CTRL+A. Please note that this option is not available for all tools.

     For more information on the options available for selecting elements in Allplan, see Selecting elements, overview.

     When selecting elements, you can use the Filter Assistant to apply a filter based on element types and/or properties. For more information, see Filter Assistant.

   • Place the legend in the drawing file.
5. Associative legends can be edited using the shortcut menu. You have the following options:
   • Use the Update Label tool to include any changes you have made in the document or drawing file in the legend.
   • You can change the page break within a legend by clicking in the workspace or entering a value in the dialog line.
   • You can resize a legend by clicking in the workspace or entering a factor in the dialog line.
   • You can explode a legend into design entities.

Note: The Landscaping and Urban Planning modules include legends specially tailored to the discipline they cover. You can access these legends by clicking Landscaping Legend or Drawing Symbol Legend.
These two tools function in the same way.

Note: The Landscaping Legend uses the group names of the selected plant catalog (e.g. Bruns). You can modify the Bruns group names freely in Allplan. This way, you can control how the plants are grouped in the legends.
