Problem
How do I control the generation of Thumbnails?
Product: MicroStation V8
Version: 08.00.04.01
Area: Configuration
Solution
The configuration variable MS_THUMBNAIL can be used to
control the behavior of thumbnail generation. If this variable
is not defined, MicroStation looks for a saved view called
"Preview", and if found uses that saved view's settings
(model, orientation, render mode, etc.) to create the thumbnail.
If the variable MS_THUMBNAIL is defined, MicroStation takes
whatever the variable is set to and looks for a saved view of the
same name. If the specified saved view name cannot be found,
then the system will create.
