Multiple Legends

I can create multiple legend types. For example, if I'm doing takeoffs on a multi page document, I can create a legend that adds up my takeoffs/tool counts for each page (source = current). However, if I were to create a legend on say the cover page that adds up all the pages (source = all), the other legends on all the other individual pages go blank. If I were to re-add a legend to one of the pages (page total only, source = current), the cover page/document total legend then goes blank.

Is there a way to have a legend for each individual page total AND a legend on the cover page that totals the entire document? Meaning, if I have a 5 page document with a cover page and 4 plan pages, can I have a total combined document legend on the cover page AND a legend for each of the 4 plan pages?

    Not to my knowledge. From my understanding of Revu, it ensures that there is no duplication in the Legends by only allowing data in one Legend at any time. So you are looking for a way to 'trick' the software. I don't think you can. Let's see if anyone in the clever little Community has other ideas.
    Sorry, I'm stumped.

    So i was able to do it while taking off a hotel, but I can't seem to do it on any other drawing. I've duplicated the settings and properties of the table exactly and it just won't go.

    Only "trick" I could think of would be to create the legends on the individual sheets, then flatten them so they become static. Then on the main page you can create a legend of all the sheets and the rest would be fine. Not a huge fan of that process due to the later challenges you're going to have with updates and changes that inevitably happen, but it would work in a pinch.
