To Work With Legends

A legend lists the styles in your map.

To add legend to a paper space layout

1. If desired, create a display map and add any viewports you need. See To Work With Display Maps.

   Every map file has a default display map. If you do not create other display maps, the legend will be added to the default.

2. Switch to paper space.
3. Click Layout Tools tab > Legend.
4. Select a legend style from the list.

   To use an external table style, click Browse For External Style and navigate to the XML file containing the style. You can create table styles using the AutoCAD TABLESTYLE command.

5. Select a viewport for the legend.
6. Click a spot to place the legend.

   The legend can be inside or outside the viewport itself.
