Volt Iris
Import Figma designs into Volt Iris
Volt Iris now lets you import Figma designs directly as forms, eliminating the need to recreate them manually.
Using the new Figma plugin available in My HCLSoftware (MHS) Utilities for Volt Iris, you can easily export Figma designs in a format compatible with Volt Iris, including all embedded assets.
This AI-powered conversion enables a smooth transition from Figma to Volt Iris. While results may vary depending on the design's complexity, you can use any Figma library or template in your original design.
