Creating Legend/Map Callout Guide/Key
Hi! I'm trying to put the finishing touches on my city map and I would like to add a legend. I want to number key locations in the town and have a legend that tells you what it is. The World Builders Compendium has section for the "Orde-On-The-Rock" Q&A, but it does not address the lovely legend the creator made! I have some pretty good settings for my text and labels on the map... but any advice on how to create something like the below? And what does the "Create Index" tool do? Thank you!

Hi Nic Cho :)
I created that particular legend by hand - typing everything in a succession of text objects aligned on the snap grid. Then I added the fractal shape behind it on a new sheet with either a Transparency or Blend Mode sheet effect on it so the map could still be seen through it.
If you want to have a look at the FCW for this map it's linked to this blog article:

You made this? Very nice!! I love the map. Awesome, thank you for the guide and yes I will take a look in the FCW ;)
Thank you, and you're welcome :)
