[Transferring from the basic AutoCAD Forum...]

I can imagine a fairly easy way to do that if you mean within just the current space, and if you're not talking about dynamic Blocks.  Do those descriptions fit your situation?

 

If you would prefer to do it not by selecting one of each to Copy them, but by an independent Insertion of every Block that is Inserted anywhere in the drawing, that would not need to be limited to the current space, and could also cover dynamic Blocks, and would not be affected by the positional relationship of selected ones as collective Copying would.

i would be setting up the legend in model pace but and am trying to find a faster way to do this than  copying one of every block the drawing manually. 

 

thanks Mike
