Hey there everyone. Been awhile since I've been around the forums since I got married and all that a couple weeks ago. Life is great. :)

Now for my question:

I thought that whatever was visible in the current window of a file would become the file preview image, but for some reason that's not the case in one of my families.

I have a 2D mop sink family, which shows in plan when I first open the file. I just did a Save As, and for some reason one of the elevation views shows in the Preview pane. I didn't even have an elevation view open (only the plan view was open) so I don't understand why it won't save the plan view as the preview.

Hey patricks, Congratulations!

Theres an options box in the 'Save As' dialogue box that allows you to select the preview

ah yes, looks like someone had changed that setting to be one the elevations instead of Active View.

And that someone was probably me, since I created the family :p
