Creating or Copying Zones

Follow the instructions in the subsections below to create or copy zones.

Adding a New Zone

From the Edit Layers window, click + adjacent to the right-most column header to add a new zone with the same layers. Repeat as chosen.

Edit Layers Window with Multizone

Note:

Zones will be added in sequence (i.e., to Primary, which appears by default, will be added Zone 1, Zone 2, et cetera). A new tab appears for each zone:

  • Multizone – lists all layers and allows users to allocate layers to zones.
  • Primary – controls layers in the Primary zone. The Primary zone may contain a subset of layers, but all components not contained in a Zone are treated as if they are in the Primary zone.
  • ZoneN – control layers in their respective zone. Each zone is labeled with the corresponding zone's designation.
Adding a New Zone With Specific Layers

From the Edit Layers window, Ctrl+click anywhere within the chosen layer(s). Then either right-click and select ZonesCreate from selection or navigate to ZonesCreate from selection.

Right-Click to Create From Selection

The new zone has only the highlighted layer(s).

Created From Selection

Copying a Zone

From the Edit Layers window, navigate to the chosen zone's tab and make any appropriate changes. Then navigate to Zone > Add to copy the chosen zone to the next sequential number (e.g., copying Zone 2, when Zone 3 has already been added, will designate the copy as Zone 4).
