Creating a Legend
Easily create a legend for your Mechanical Engineering diagrams by using the Table
tab. Click on the Table menu located under the Table tab.
In the menu you will be able to select how many rows and columns your legend will have. Once
you have made the selection, the table will be added to the Work Area.
Once you have the desired amount of columns and rows created for your legend table, you can
easily move the Grid Lines (cell walls) around.
You can merge cells by highlighting the cells and clicking Join
Cells on the Table tab.
You can break up areas in the cells by simply selecting a single cell
and clicking the Split Cells button.
You can control the color, style and borders of your Grid Lines. Select a Grid Line—it
will show a green highlight when selected—then right-click. In the menu you can choose
to edit Grid Line Thickness, Grid Line Style, and
Grid Line Color.
Continue to fill in the content for your legend. You can customize your font style and
alignment by using the Controls in the Font and
Paragraph groups under the Home tab.
