A. Create a new screen with four sheets of paper.
To demonstrate cornering, we will create a new screen with four sheets of paper.

7. The layout screen will increase to four sheets.

9. Click View, Overview
10. The screen will change to show the entire layout. Notice that the four sheets of paper make a layout with four quadrants.
B. Cornering
The cornering function will duplicate any selected design on the screen into three other quadrants.
1. To import a design, we can either click the Import icon
OR
click File, Import Design.
Either way will bring up the Open/Import Files dialog box.

Any selected design can be centered in a layout, even those that have been created through the combine feature.
