Create a new segment

 Action    name: CreateSegment
 

If you select an area using the anchor, IDA will propose the start address and the end address of the selection as defaults for the segment bounds.

You need to specify at least: - the segment start address - the segment end address (excluded from the range) - the segment base

If another segment already exists at the specified address, the existing segment is truncated and the new segment lasts from the specified start address to the next segment (or specified end address, whichever is lower). If the old and the new segments have the same base address, instructions/data will not be discarded by IDA. Otherwise IDA will discard all instructions/data of the new segment.

An additional segment may be created by IDA to cover the area after the end of the new segment.
