New Map Editor / View
Adding a New Map Editor
This can be done in two ways: using the file menu and right clicking on the tab bar.
Using the file menu, simply go to: File > New Map.
This opens a new map editor tab with the default projection (CONUS Polar Stereographic).
To use the tab bar, right-click on or next to any tab and select New Editor
Renaming Map Editor
Any of the map editor tabs can be renamed. This can be particularly helpful if you have multiple tabs, with a different focus on each (ie. different geographic reigon, different types of data, etc).
New Projection
A new map projection can be created using the file menu: File > New Projection.
