    • If the layer and view bar is displayed, click the button on the bar.

    • Choose the Layer and Views command in the Settings menu.

  2. Click the Add view button.

  3. In the dialog box, specify the name to be assigned to the view.

  4. Set the view properties.

  5. Add layers to the view.
