Making a legend - AutoCAD LT 2017

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Could someone walk me step by step on creating a legend for a map? The legend type I'm looking for is a style similar to what one would see on a map made in Arcmap. Let me know if you need more info to answer the question.

Hi,

welcome @Anonymous.autodesk.com!

First at all: AutoCAD LT can't be controlled by VBA, only full AutoCAD can be programmed.

You are comparing a mini-CAD system with a full GIS-system, they can't be compared, AutoCAD LT does not have any GIS functionality, does not know what a "map" is (from the point of view of a GIS dataset) and it does not know what a legend is.

The way it can be done with AutoCAD LT is only the manual way, either using rows of blocks making it look like a legend or using the table functionality described >>>here<<<.
