Adding data to a project

There are several ways in which you can add data to a project. The method you use may vary according to your objectives. On the File menu, you can click Open, and then in the File Selector window, select as many new files to add to a project as you want. You can also add files by using the available Add Layer Wizard to make adding data easier.

When you add data to a project, it appears under the active area on the Maps tab.

Note: For information about maps, areas, layers, and more, see Control pane.
