For example, &lt;em&gt;MS_THUMBNAIL = PLOT&lt;/em&gt; will use the saved view called &lt;em&gt;PLOT&lt;/em&gt; for the thumnail. If the specified saved view name cannot be found, then the system will create/update the thumbnail image using the lowest numbered open view (for example, if views 4-8 are open, view 4 is used).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This also occurs if &lt;em&gt;MS_THUMBNAIL&lt;/em&gt; is not created and if the saved view called &lt;em&gt;Preview&lt;/em&gt; does not exist in any design or sheet model in the DGN file. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If &lt;em&gt;MS_THUMBNAIL= NONE&lt;/em&gt; then no new thumbnail is generated and any existing thumbnails are not removed nor updated. &lt;/td&gt;
