Create your first visual

Create a Visual, choose a canvas size, and understand which editor controls become available after a Visual exists.

Create a Visual to give your Design a canvas you can edit and export.

Before you start

Open the Design or Workspace from the platform your team uses. IngenOps loads the matching Workspace automatically.

If the editor opens with no Visuals, create one from the top toolbar before adding layers or exporting.

Create a Visual

  1. Click New visual in the top toolbar.

  2. If a template picker appears, choose Start from a blank visual instead to follow these steps. Enter a Visual name, or keep the default name.

  3. Choose a preset size or enter custom dimensions.

  4. Click Create.

Create Visual dialog showing the Visual name, size presets, custom dimensions, and Create button.

What changes after you create it

After the Visual is created:

  • The canvas shows the Visual area.

  • The Layers panel lists the Visual.

  • Shape, content, text, undo, and export controls become available.

  • The inspector shows the selected Visual's settings.

Import an existing design, when available

If your editor offers Import in the top toolbar, you can start from a design file instead of a blank Visual.

  1. Click Import, then choose Computer for a local PSD or SVG file. AI files are available only when Illustrator import is enabled.

  2. If a MuseDAM source is offered, search for a PSD or enabled AI file, filter the results if needed, and select the file.

  3. Click Import file. If a missing-font review appears, upload the requested fonts or skip them to continue, then inspect the imported result.

MuseDAM design import depends on your App and file permissions; it is separate from the image browser used to add pictures. If access changes or import fails, search again and reselect the file. Inspect text, layout and any import warnings before using the result.

Troubleshooting

If the shape, image, text, or export controls are disabled, create or select a Visual first.

If the Workspace does not load, refresh the page or reopen the Design from your host platform.
