Canvas

The workspace in the HUB^PL platform is referred to as a canvas.  On a canvas, you can open any software widget, then resize and reposition to suit your needs.  You can also create a library of canvases that might represent workflows for particular types of engineering analyses.  For example, you may want to have RSTRENG+ open alongside a map and corrosion calculations from Pipeline Toolbox.  The canvas enables this side-by-side, simultaneous use of analyses from different modules, and all widgets can be kept in sync with the pipe/valve/pump/compressor/other entity being analyzed.

Tutorial Videos

Here are some short videos to help understand the functionality of the Canvas:

• Canvas Overview (47 sec)
• Creating a New Canvas (30 sec)
• Clearing a Canvas (48 sec)
• Cloning a Canvas (2 min 4 sec)
• Setting a Default Canvas (23 sec)

A recommended practice is to keep a default canvas blank and name it “Blank Canvas” since each canvas always saves its most recent configuration.  Keeping a blank canvas on hand allows you to do a new calculation/layout without disturbing previously saved canvases that you would like to retain for easy use in the future.
