Manage Multiple Canvases with Tabs

Open several views at the same time in separate tabs without losing state.

Before you start

Who this is for Any user
Role required Viewer or higher
Prerequisites Application open

Open a new tab

When you drill into a node at Level 5 (or use the right-click menu to open a sub-view), CAST Imaging opens the new view in a separate tab rather than replacing the current view.

You can also open a new tab manually from the toolbar.

Switch between tabs

Click any tab at the top of the canvas to switch to it. Each tab keeps its own scope, level, and object selection.

Close a tab

Click the X on a tab to close it. The view is not saved unless you used Save view.

Use tabs to compare views

Open the same scope at two different levels in separate tabs. Switch between them to compare the high-level structure and the detailed object view.
