LEGEND — the drawing’s legend, built from what you select
Select the objects that should be explained and LEGEND builds the legend for you — one row per layer / linetype / colour combination found in the selection, drawn with a sample line and the layer’s name.
Text height follows your current style — annotative styles scale with the annotation scale, plain styles follow LTSCALE — so the legend lands at drawing-appropriate size in model or paper space.

Download LEGEND (free, .rar)
No sign-up.
How to use it
- Unzip, then load the .lsp with
