# New Features In VisionPro 10.0

This VisionPro 10.0 Preview 2 release supports several new features not found in previous releases:

- C++ API

  The VisionPro 10.0 C++ API is a unmanaged C++ SDK for developing Cognex vision applications using the Microsoft Visual Studio Framework on the Microsoft Windows PC platform.

  This release allows you to use the QuickBuild prototyping environment to create and save a ToolBlock of configured vision tools and then import that ToolBlock into your Visual Studio application.

  To view the C++ API reference documentation, install the VisionPro 10.0 Documentation and access it through the VisionPro Documentation (see the following sections).

- New implementation of QuickBuild

  This release redesigns the QuickBuild utility as a user interface for creating ToolBlocks of input image sources and the vision tools to analyze them. A saved ToolBlock can be imported into a C++ Visual Studio application.

  See the topic QuickBuild for more information.

- A separate VisionPro documentation installer.

  This release uses a separate documentation installer which includes a VisionPro Documentation Home Page. Access the Home Page from the Windows Start menu by choosing Cognex->VisionPro 10.0 Preview 2->VisionPro 10.0 User Documentation.

  Use the Documentation Home Page to access the VisionPro 10.0 Preview 2 User's Guide and API Reference.
