This command draws a legend based on a legend definition file.
After choosing the legend definition (.LGD) file to use, a dialog
displays the current definitions. The legend definition file
consists of descriptions assigned to text, symbols, linetypes and
hatch patterns. The default legend that is included with Carlson is
called legend.lgd.
Add inserts a new definition to the definitions. To insert a new definition, pick an existing definition and click on the Add button. The new definition is added immediately following the existing definition.
Add from Drawing adds entries to the legend table for each different symbol that is selected from the drawing.
Remove removes the selected definition.
On switches the Include field in the selected definition to Yes.
Off switches the Include field in the selected definition to No.
On/Off by Drawing prompts you to select symbols from the drawing. Symbols found will be turned on, all others will be turned off. This helps you create a legend that includes only symbols found in the drawing.
Description by Field-to-Finish uses the description from the Field-to-Finish code definition for symbols that match the code symbol.
Sort sorts the definitions alphabetically and numerically.
Draw draws the included definitions as a legend.
Report uses the Report Formatter to make a customized report of the names and descriptions in the legend.
Move Up: This option moves the selected definition up one row. Legend entries are drawn in the order that they are defined.
Move Down moves the selected definition down one row. Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order that the symbols will be drawn.
Save saves the legend file as its original file name.
Save As saves the legend file to a new file name.
Exit exits the command back to the drawing window.
