You can create a new layer for your map when you want to add digitized map information, digitize an image file, or create different layers of geographic information.
You can create a new layer by right-clicking an area icon and using the shortcut menu to add new raster, vector, or bitmap layers. When you create a new layer, you must set the parameters of the new area.
New layers are automatically rescaled and georeferenced to the area. Any areas with undefined projections use the meter projection by default. You can change the layer type, data type, and the georeferencing when you set up the layer parameters. When you create a new layer, the parameters describe the amounts and types of data you can use in the layer properties.
