Part Family Member Previews

(OP)
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears saving Part Family members does not update their thumbnail previews (at least in NX). Since Part Family members are generally the most common files used across users, previews would be quite valuable here.

I have discovered a loophole though. Even though Part Family members are read-only, they can be filed in another directory under the same name. This then updates their previews.

Naturally, doing this one-at-a-time can be tedious. To automate the process, use MS Explorer to open multiple files and then use the free "Save All As" utility from SolidNX.com to save them all into another directory.

Cheers,
