Batch create thumbnails to use in the MicroStation Manager
 
Here's a cool keyin from Bentley's own Phil Chouinard that lets you create a saved view called Preview for thumbnail generation. Use it with Batch Process and you're all set.

With thanks to Thomas Voghera for submitting it here!

expand set MS_THUMBNAIL = Preview;save view Preview;selview 5;filedesign

Note that in the example above, the saved view is being created from View 5.
