Hello,
I am trying to upload some custom made icons into my Microstation Powerdraft, however they are not displaying in my ribbon.
Lets say I'm trying to add this Panda as an icon.
I have imported the Panda icon into my current project.
However when I select the Panda and hit the 'OK' button...
The Panda icon does not appear, and of course when I hit 'Apply', the button is there but the Panda icon is not.
The Happy and Sad face icons are inbuilt icons and not custom made.
Could I please have some help with this issue? Or be redirected to a thread that has solved this issue previously?
Thanks!

Did you import the icon using MicroStation's Import BMP Dialog? What icon size(s) did you choose?

I suggest not using .bmp for icons as they do not scale correctly with the new ribbon which as I understand it works from the windows API. Try converting your bmp to a ico file this can be done free online. I've had pretty good luck with this one. (https://icoconvert.com/) the ico file contains your icon with multiple standard px sizes and should scale up/down while looking sharp. Good luck!

That's exactly what we did, works great.
Yes I did,
From here I clicked on 'From Bitmaps...'
Then I added my Panda icon like this. The strange thing though is that I don't see the Panda icon in my list of icons.
When I click 'OK', this is what I see.
Panda icon is nowhere to be found. Those two other icons were ones I experimented with and somehow got in there by fluke.
Thanks for your reply! I appreciate the help.
EDIT: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's hit and miss.
So I managed to get to this stage,
I imported via ico this time. However when I get to trying to use it as an actual icon, it's still 'blank'.
I click on the Panda and select 'OK'.
Unfortunately, it's still blank, any idea why?
Thanks for your reply!
