Getting Pro/E files to show preview image as thumbnail icon?

[mjcole]

I was wondering if any of you knew how to get Windows to use the saved imaged used for file preview in Pro/E as the Name.prt.## thumbnail in Windows Explorer.

It seems that if UG is able to do this then there must be a way to do the same for Pro/E files.

If not it seems to me like a reasonable enhancement request.

Let me know if you have any ideas of how to show the part picture as the windows thumbnail.

Usethe SAVE_BITMAP and BITMAP_SIZE in the config.pro settings. Just remember that the image is created everytime you save a ProE file, kind of like a screen shot at the time of SAVE.
