If the list of possible views is not sufficient to describe a cell, new views can be created with the View Control... command (in menu View). This command shows all views and lets you create and delete them.

When creating a new view, a name and an abbreviation are required. The abbreviation should be the first few letters of the full view name. This abbreviation will be used when describing cells with that view. For example, the view "fast-layout" might have the abbreviation "fast".

The "Text View" checkbox indicates that this is a text-only view, like "Documentation", "Netlist", "Verilog", and "VHDL".

To delete a view, use the "Delete" button. You can delete only the views that you have created, not the basic views that exist on startup (such as "layout", "schematic", etc). Also, there must be no cells with the view that is being deleted.
