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!
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!

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!
This would be my guess, I nearly always start with a 48x48 .png and I create them in batches in a range of sizes.
It also appears you might have a tab or space in front of the icon name where you typed it into the ribbon? If so that will mess things up for sure. You might just need to fix that.
Yea, I'm using the site Grant has kindly shared.
I select all the sizes possible for one icon and select 'Convert ICO'. By any chance would you know if that's correct?
That should be right did you double check you didn't have a tab or a space in the name when you typed it?
I'm very sure there are no spaces in the name.
Just to be sure, could you please clarify which one I'm supposed to be checking? Am I meant to be checking the 'Label' or the 'Icon Name'? Or maybe perhaps there's something else that I'm missing altogether.
Thanks for your support.
EDIT: I simplified the icon name to 'Panda', hence why it's different to my previous images.
your icon name has a space in front of it, however now that i look at it i'm guessing the issue is that is where your icon is supposed to be looking at my own.
Any chance you could post your .ico file and the original bmp? That might help sort out the issue.
Sorry, I'm not quite sure how to upload files effectively on these forums.
Below should be the Panda icon.

And this link should take you to an image search where I got the original .bmp from.

That file contains a single 32-bit 48x48 image...

That's strange,
I'm sure I clicked on all the sizes when converting to an .ico file.
But it seems to only give me one size instead.
How would I know if I've converted it correctly?

You get four icons...
