Legend

Legends explain information contained in a log, such as a zone bar log or classed post log. Legends display symbols and fill options from a scheme. Any scheme in the project can be displayed with a legend. If no scheme exists in the project, the legend is displayed as Scheme not found. Click the Log | Add | Legend command and click in the view window to create a legend.

Create legends of different styles, based

on the schemes in your project.

 

Legend Properties
