Legend views list model components and annotations used in a project.

Some typical legends include the following:

Legends can be added to multiple sheets. Any elements that can be placed in drafting views, such as detail lines, text, dimensions, and filled regions, can be placed in a legend.

Legend views are unique to each project, and therefore cannot be transferred from one project to another.

You can use legend views as graphical palettes, which means that you can select a component in a legend view and use the Create Similar or Match Type tools to place the component in another view.

Note: A component that is placed in a legend does not count as an additional instance of the component in the building model, and thus is not added to the number of instances of that component listed on a schedule or note block.
