How can I create a new UIfigure in app designer that cn be viewed in "design view". So far I have this that creates a new figure when I run the app. But how can I edit the figure and add components in design view? Thanks!
function CreateNewButtonValueChanged(app, event)
value = app.CreateNewButton.Value;
app.mynewfigure = uifigure;
app.mynewfigure.Name = 'My New Figure';
end

I assume you have a 'uifigure' in App designer, and you would like to add components to it.
  1. Above the canvas, to the right hand corner, click "Design View" to go to the design view.
  2. To edit the "uifigure" itself, select the canvas. This "uifigure" properties are seen to the right of the canvas.
  3. To add components to the uifigure, drag the component from the component library to the left of the canvas
If this does not answer your question, briefly describe your workflow.

This was not the question. Look at the code below:
function CreateNewButtonValueChanged(app, event)
value = app.CreateNewButton.Value;
app.mynewfigure = uifigure;
app.mynewfigure.Name = 'My New Figure';
end
He and now also me will add a second uifigure, like a dialog box to the matlab app. But there is no way to design the second uifigure. It seems we have to build a new app with some parameter and start it while the first app is running.

I assume what you want to do is to create a simple Dialog with that button, to do so you need to create a new app. You should then call methods on the calling or dialog app as explained quite clearly by this page.
Hope this helped!
