Icon Manager authoring functions are disabled if you work in the Production View. Authoring functions, including updating a project, are always performed against a work order or a standing task, and always in a Work In Progress (or WIP) view that until it is published, is only visible to users working in the work order or standing task.

You must reserve WIP View in order to perform Icon Manager authoring functions.


The Icon Manager is located within the Customization Tool Window. It is only visible if you have the correct V-Suite CORE Product and the appropriate add-on license is activated.

When the Asset Database is opened via the Visionaize Enterprise Server, the following restrictions apply for the Icon Manager:

  1. The user must belong to a role that has the "Customization" access right.
  2. The Asset Database must be locked for maintenance.

The Icon Manager shows all of the icons used in the database and lists their name. There are four basic types of icons available:

  1. System Icons - Icons created when the database is created.
  2. Default Icons - Icons created when a new Blank Project is created and the user specified to import the Project Defaults. These can also be added to existing or previous version projects by using the File –Update Project – From Model Default command.
  3. Custom Icons - Icons used with user-defined Templates.


The Icon Manager Toolbar provides the following commands:

Create New Custom Icon

V-Suite CORE requires icons to be 16x16 pixels. If the chosen image is not 16x16 a dialog will be shown informing the user that the image had to be resized.

Delete Custom Icon

System and Default Icons cannot be deleted.

Edit Custom Icon

System and Default Icons cannot be modified.



Icon Manager will be disabled when multiple projects are opened. You must open a single project in order to customize an Icon.
