It loses the stretch and the intervals.</P><P><IMG alt="" class="image-2 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/392851_legend_bad.png" style="width: 251px; height: 95px;" /></P><P></P><P>As far as I can tell I have used all the same settings between the two maps. Furthermore, when I tried to go back to the first map's symbology tab to look at what settings I used, the legend changes from the one at the top to the legend at the bottom, even if I do not make any changes to it. Why am I not able to recreate this legend now?&nbsp; Is there anyway I can make the legend like the one on the top?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Jan 2018 14:30:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813971#M413 HollyBowen 2018-01-15T14:30:07Z Re: Creating a legend with stretch symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813972#M414 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>save the top to a layer file (ie *.lyr), then when you need to reuse it, import that *lyr file as the symbology to use.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Jan 2018 17:01:01 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813972#M414 DanPatterson_Retired 2018-01-15T17:01:01Z Re: Creating a legend with stretch symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813973#M415 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Holly, just to clarify, are you using desktop software (ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro)?</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Jan 2018 06:58:04 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813973#M415 AdrianWelsh 2018-01-16T06:58:04Z Re: Creating a legend with stretch symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813974#M416 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am using ArcMap 10.5</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 24 Jan 2018 00:00:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813974#M416 HollyBowen 2018-01-24T00:00:52Z Re: Creating a legend with stretch symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/cartography-and-maps-questions/creating-a-legend-with-stretch-symbology/m-p/813975#M417 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Not all of the data have the same scale however.
