symbol creation
(OP)
I created a symbol of our company logo, and it worked fine except for one thing. There is no preview of the symbol when I am in the "insert symbol" menu.
How do I create a preview of the symbol so that it shows up in the "insert symbol" menu?

RE: symbol creation
Now here's a little trick to remember. The system does really care where the .bmp file came from or even how large it is (despite the fact that the largest that NX will automatically create is 36 x 36 pixels). So what you can after the fact if you wish something larger, is to just go and create whatever .bmp file which you think represents the 'meaning' of the symbol, even if it may not actually look like the symbol, give it the same name as symbol of interest and place it in the symbol folder and then the next time you go to the 'Insert Symbol' dialog this will be image that you see.
