The view is a dynamic process where compiling, editing, querying, and other manipulations of themes takes place. A saved view allows for changes in the future.
Layouts contain no spatial information.
Layouts, when saved, will only store these added features and do not store and spatial information. Legends will automatically created when a layout is generated, providing the legend is being shown on the view screen. If the active theme in a view has been double clicked then the legend in the left hand portion of the view will disappear. To make the legend reappear simply double-click on the active theme. Printing a view will print the line work without a legend.
