VISI by Hexagon Creating Assembly Structure
The Assembly Manager and Parts Manager lists in VISI are locations to define and organize the contents of a drawing. When moving data between software, sometimes this organization can become oversimplified. To preserve the structural integrity of these lists, VISI has tools to convert a Layer structure into a Tree structure, with the objective of exporting to other software. Creating an Assembly Manager Tree organizes the geometry data by Layers and Groups. Exporting into a variety of file types is then performed by Assemblies, maintaining the structure to be viewed in another software. When looking at data imported to VISI, especially if it was brought in on a single layer, it is simple to view the original Tree structure in the Assembly Manager of VISI using this same feature.

VISI by Hexagon Vector Text and Engraving
Vector text and engraving are essential functionalities in VISI, especially for practices in manufacturing and machining. Vector text refers to text that is defined by mathematical vectors rather than pixels. In VISI, vector text is used to create precise and scalable text elements for various applications, including toolpath generation for machining. Vector text is commonly employed in creating labels, annotations, and other textual elements on 2D and 3D models within the software. VISI provides tools for creating and manipulating vector text so that users can customize font styles, sizes, and other attributes. The ability to convert text into vector paths is crucial for generating machining toolpaths accurately. Engraving involves the process of cutting or carving designs into a material surface and is often used for adding intricate details, serial numbers, logos, or other features to parts. VISI, being a comprehensive CAD/CAM solution, provides specific tools and functionalities for engraving operations. This includes defining engraving toolpaths, selecting tools, adjusting parameters for depth and width of cuts, and visualizing the results in a simulation.
