Thanks for your response. I need to create a table with all the layers
details with the color and the name of each layer. This is called Legend?
Hope you can help me.

I have tried the quick block legend commando, but it does not exist in my
autocad. Maybe I need to activate the tool box or something else I don't
know how to do it. Even the legend command does not exist in my 2017
autocad. Hope you can help me with my request.

Thanks for your response.

In Layer Properties Manager, select all of your layers, CTRL-C to copy, open something like Excel, CTRL-V to paste.

Hi,

 

you won't find what you ask in normal AutoCAD commands.i know that you have use it before because it's a Lisp routine behavior that already uploaded to your system.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

This is not a built-in feature of AutoCAD. There are ways of extracting this information though. You can certainly use -LA to report the information into the text window (F2) or you can find a lisp routine or add-in.  I suggest that perhaps you might find something like this in the Autodesk App Store.
