Once you place your Legend on your document, with the handles still active, open the Legend’s properties tab. Scroll down to the appearance section and click on the dropdown arrow for the Source field. It is here you can change what the Legend counts to Current Page, All Pages or a Custom Range as shown in the sample below:

You’ll likely want to place the totals for the whole document on a title page and I would recommend you change the Title of the Legend to “Totals for this Project”.
While we’re here I should mention that you can also add columns to your Legend using Edit Columns and Change the Legend’s Table Style. If you do select the Gridlines Table Style, you’ll need to remember to adjust your line width to something greater than zero so the gridlines display.

If you haven’t used Legends before you may want to review how to use Legends for your Estimating Takeoffs. It’s also recommended you create Legends and add them to your tools sets. This video should help:

You can also use Legends in the Punch Workflow to display punch issues by disciple and status. watch this video to review the process:

1. Place a Text Box on a document and enter Architect
2. Change the Properties of the text in the text box to the color your Architect will use.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Structural Engineer and General Contractor (and for any other disciplines you want in your legend).
4. Line Up all your text boxes tightly together on your document. (You may want to turn on the Grid to line these up)
5. Lasso or multi-select all the text boxes you added in the above steps on your markups list, right click and select Group to group these markups.
6. Add the Grouped markups to your tool chest by dragging it from the Recents to your My tools

Now you have your multicolored Legend tool to reuse and place on all the pages you need to.

Another way to do this would be to create a custom stamp. Then you could use the Batch Stamp function to place your legend on all the pages.
