# Create or Import Workspace/Tool

## Create and Navigate Workspaces

1. Open the VisionPro Deep Learning GUI, and in the Workspace menu, select New.

2. In the New Workspace dialog, provide a name for your workspace.

3. The new workspace you created will be the active workspace.

Note:

To navigate to a previously created workspace, expand the Workspace container by pressing the icon, and then select the desired workspace from the list and press the arrow icon:

The VisionPro, Designer and VisionPro Deep Learning software require that a valid Cognex Security Dongle be installed directly to PCs running the software during all phases of operation (programming, processing, training, testing, etc.). Any attempts to temporarily remove, substitute, or share a Cognex Security Dongle may cause your system to operate incorrectly, and may result in the loss of data.

## Import Workspaces

From the Workspace menu select Import. This will open the Import Workspace dialog, where you can navigate to the desired .vwsa file and import it into the workspace.

Note: A SuaKIT Classification project can be imported into VisionPro Deep Learning, only as a Green Classify High Detail. If you imported a SuaKIT Classification project as a Green Classify High Detail and converted its architecture and mode to Green Classify Focused in the Tool Parameters, the images and labels of the imported SuaKIT Classification project would be preserved but all trained information and the parameter settings would be lost. See Import a SuaKIT Classification Project for more details of importing SuaKIT Classification project.

## Create a Tool

1. In the workspace's configuration area, press the Input+ icon to display the available tools.

2. Click the tool icon to add the tool.

Note: Deep Learning tools can be chained together for more complex inspections. See the VisionPro Deep Learning Tool Chains topic for more information.
