Spot00058.pngCreating label legends

To create a new label legend:

1.      From the Label Legend Manager dialog box, click Add.

The Add New Legend dialog box opens. Select the labels for placement and specify their attributes for both Top/Plan and 3D views. Indicate the instrument symbol to use when formatting the label legend layout, and select whether the legend rotates with the instrument.

Custom container symbols can be added to the list of available containers. Draw a container object, and then select Modify > Create Symbol. Enter a name for the container. In the Create Symbol dialog box, specify the Containers folder. The symbol becomes available from the Container Type list. Any symbol can be placed in the Containers folder and used as a label container. The pre-defined container symbols can also be edited and customized.

Container attributes can be determined by the label text or lighting device; see Spotlight preferences: Lighting devices: Class and color pane and Spotlight preferences: Lighting devices: Parameters pane.

The new legend name displays in the Legend Name list in the Label Legend Manager dialog box.

2.      Once the legend has been created, the 2D and/or 3D label layout may need to be formatted, unless the labels are in single label format. See Formatting the label legend layout.
