VectoUI Cloud Design Workflow

This guide explains the full path from design-side upload, Portal management, and Unity-side generation with the VectoUI source. Portal only shows design previews and management metadata. It does not show underlying resource lists or internal layout content.

Prepare account credentials

After signing in to VectoUI, open your dashboard to find your API Key. Design-side plugins only need the API Key for upload. Unity and other generator-side tools require both API Key and API Secret so account and device authorization can be checked.

Upload to My Space

Enter your API Key in the Sketch or Photoshop plugin, choose a project space, and upload the design. The default project space is workspace. You can also create a new top-level project space from the plugin or Portal.

After upload, the design appears in My Space. The page shows the design name, preview image, file size, update time, and project space. It does not expose the underlying resource list.

Share with selected users

You can share a design or project space with a specific VectoUI user email. VectoUI does not provide anonymous public share links. The recipient must sign in to their own VectoUI account.

Shared users can see the shared content in Portal and select shared designs from Unity or other generator-side tools.

Use from Unity

In the Unity plugin, configure API Key and API Secret, then switch the source to VectoUI. After validation, Unity can load your own designs and designs shared with you.

After selecting a project space, Unity shows the available designs with preview image, name, size, and update time.

When you generate, the plugin creates a UI Prefab in Unity and caches the image and font assets required for generation. Layout data is only parsed in memory and is not saved as a local project file.

Deletion and storage usage

My Space tracks storage usage. Design previews and generation assets count toward storage. The current upload behavior overwrites the same design by default. Deleting a design releases the related storage usage.

FAQ

Does Portal show which resource files were uploaded?

No. Portal only shows preview, name, size, update time, project space, and sharing information.

No. Sharing currently works only with selected VectoUI user emails.

Does Unity save layout data locally?

No. Unity only stores the image and font assets needed for generation. Layout data is parsed in memory only.
