Utilize a saved view for your thumbnail
Original Tip Date:
Dec 31, 2002
Utilize a saved view for your thumbnail
Did you know you can tell MicroStation V8 what image to display as the thumbnail in the MicroStation Manager? Just create a saved view called
PREVIEW
and MicroStation will use it as the source view.
If you're going to use the title-block area of your drawing to do this, then make it a big more useable by disabling the display of the line weights and styles.
Shawn Foster
adds: This also comes into play for your non-MicroStation users or your casual users in that
Windows 2000/XP
can display the thumbnail image in
Windows Explorer
. By saving your preview your other users can change their Explorer view to
Thumbnail
and see exactly what you want them to see outside of MicroStation.
