possible to make legend??

I'm sort of new to AutoCad, and I've made a drawing that I'd like to attach
a legend to. I've used about 4 different hatches that I'd like to include,
but I can't figure out how to inherit the atributes of the hatches from the
model view to the layout view.

AutoCad 2006 seems like a very intuitive program, is there a way to
automatically create a legend using all hatches found in the model view?

Create your legend in model space. Then make your viewport the same
scale factor as your plan, section, or detail. and the hatch
characteristics will show as the same size, darkness, etc.

PS. My way of thinking: The only thing in paperspace is the titleblock
and related text. All notes, legends, plans with text are all drawn in
model space using viewports to create and organize the drawing.

Getting down from soapbox.

The only thing that should be different between hatches in model space and
paperspace is their scale and their origins.

If your MSPACE is scaled to 1:100 and your PSPACE is 1:1, then your PSPACE
hatch scale should be 1/100th of that in MSPACE.

On the PSPACE/MSPACE debate I am a not-so-conscientious objector. I can and
do go both ways depending on various considerations. The main one is if I
already have something lying around to copy, and if so, which space was is
made for...Charts and legends bore me! Whatever's quickest!
