Description
This tool allows legends to be duplicated and renamed to be placed on a different sheet or the same sheet. It will only copy one at a time and place it on one sheet. To use it, click the Duplicate Legend button. Then, navigate to the sheet that contains the legend to be duplicated. Click on the legend, then click the Finish button. This will bring up the Duplicate Legend dialog window shown below:
The window contains a list of every sheet in the project. Select the sheet in the list that is to receive the copied legend. There is a search box that will filter the sheet names to make it easier to find the specific sheet. Then, either double-click the desired sheet or highlight it and click OK to select the sheet. An input box will then appear for typing the new name of the duplicated legend as show below:
The input window has the original name of the new legend for easier editing, but the name must be changed and must be unique or else it will ask again for a unique name.
Once the new legend name is accepted the duplicated legend will be placed on the selected sheet. If a different sheet is selected than the original sheet the view will be placed in the same position it was on the original sheet. If the same sheet is selected to receive the duplicated legend then it will be placed next to the original view.
