+ Views can also be added to an EER Diagram using the
+ <literal>View</literal> tool on the vertical toolbar.
+ To do this make sure that the <literal>EER Diagram</literal>
+ tab is selected, and right click the view icon on the vertical
+ toolbar. The view icon is the two overlapping rectangles found
+ below the table icon.

+ Choosing the <literal>View</literal> tool changes the contents of the toolbar
+ that appears immediately below the menu bar. It now contains a drop down
+ list box of schemata and a drop down color chart.
+ Use these list boxes to select the appropriate schema and color
+ accent for the new view. Make sure that you associate the new view
+ with a database. The color of your view can easily be changed
+ later using the <literal>Properties</literal> palette.

+ Create a view by clicking anywhere on the EER Diagram canvas.
