Finding Unused Schedules and Legends with Ideate Explorer

Recently a customer asked if we provide a tool that can report on whether schedules and legends are placed/not placed on sheets. In case you’ve wondered that too, here’s our response: 


Yes! 


It can easily be done with one of the built in Ideate Explorer filters.

Finding Unused Schedules and Legends

Instructions


Simply go to the Filter menu and choose “Views Unused,” which uses a property we created called Sheet Count that applies to schedules, legends, and any other unused views.


We excluded dependent views because those that are unused may still be important. 


With that one click, you will have the information you need. 


Read the Help file for more information.


We made this process extremely easy in the latest release of Ideate Explorer with Ideate Filters.


However, we’ve had this functionality for quite some time with Ideate Query, which is part of Ideate Explorer.


Want to know if you can perform a specific function with Ideate Software tools? Contact our Support team. We are here to help.
