Project Explorer

The Project Explorer is the navigation area.
Once a project is opened, here you’ll find the project organisation. Each project is organized into folders (and subfolders). Every folder represents a unit or a system in your plant.

Supports are organised into folders and depending on its type, icon is different:

• stands for V(ariable) Supports

• stands for R(igid) Supports: Hangers, U-Bolts, Shoes and Sliding plates.
• stands for D(ynamic) Supports: Struts, Snubbers

Working Area

The software supports a multi-tabbed interface allowing you to arrange support sheets into multiple tabs. Each support datasheet or drawing is opened in a new tab.

If you click the ‘Close’ button in the upper-right corner of Pihasa Assistant working area, you will close the tab you’re currently viewing. You can also close a tab or a group of tabs using the menus or toolbar (as mentioned before).
