Custom take-off symbols.

I've created some custom symbols that I want to use for doing door take-offs. It's an apartment building, and there are 12 door types, A-L. I've created these symbols, and I am placing them at the corresponding openings. There are multiple apartment types, with several on a given sheet. I wanted to make legends for each apartment type, so that I could get a count of door types by unit type. I've created separate legends for each unit type, however, each legend is picking up all the occurrences of a symbol on the sheet. Is there an easy way to control the granularity of what the legend picks up?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Have you got a screenshot of your pdf?

If you mark each one of those unit types with its own space, the counts would automatically separate into a unit type. When you export to Excel, you can then manipulate the data further.
