    Default Dwg Preview

    Hey everyone,

    No big thing but I thought I ask anyway...

    In the Sheet Set Manager how can we get the preview to update...???

    I copy a file but the preview (at the bottom) still shows the previous drawing.

    Can we change that preview to show the drawing...???

    Thanks

    *****
    Oops... I may asked to soon but I still having a little problem...

    RASTERPREVIEW is set to 1
    UPDATETHUMBNAIL is set to 16

    but I still do have the right preview...

    Have you looked at the Updatethumbnail variable?

    It's the little things that are so annoying

    Have you tried setting it to 31?

    It's not as daft as it sounds, the settings are cumulative bitcode, 31 is the sum of all settings thus turning all options on.

    l understand but 15 is that sum...

    then 15 plus 16 = 31...

    I will let it go until tomorrow but so far it doesn't look like it is working in my case...

    Go to the model tab, save & close - that should update your preview. When you open through the SSM again it would still open in the layout (obviously).
