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!
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.
Panda.ico
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...
