You can add one layer to the current Map window at a time or use the multi-select functionality to add layers simultaneously.

Note: You can only add layers from tables that are open. If you want to add a layer and you do not see it in the list, make sure the table that contains that layer is open.

To add a layer to the current Map window:

  1. On the Explorer window, click the Add button.
    • To add a contiguous block of tables, select the first table, hold down the Shift key, select the last table.
    • To add multiple tables that are out of sequence, hold down the Ctrl key, select the tables.

      To deselect tables, hold down the Ctrl key, click on the tables,

  2. Click OK to add the tables to the MAps list.

    Each table is ordered automatically according to the type of table it is. For instance, table with points are placed above table with lines, which are placed above table with regions. Drag the new tables to the appropriate position in the Maps list as necessary.
