• Export Zyxel product images or SVGs from datasheets, convert to Visio shapes (Import → SVG).
• Create port-detail group shapes: include labeled ports and unify spacing so cable connectors snap correctly.
• Save custom collections as .vssx and document naming conventions (e.g., Zyxel_ModelSeries_v1.vssx).
