Problem
Create preset thumbnail
MicroStation creates a thumbnail (little preview of the file) when
saving settings. How to setup a specific view for this thumbnail?
Product: MicroStation V8i

Solution
Use key-in in batch or on file close
The following key-in will create a saved view THMB from view 5 and use
this to create a thumbnail:
expand set MS_THUMBNAIL = THMB; save view THMB; selview 5; filedesign
The name of the view and the view number can be chosen as desired. The
chosen view must be set up before this key-in is executed, e.g.:
- to choose area: "window area; xy=1,2; xy=12,13; selview 5"
- to turn levels off for view: "active level default; set levels off
pattern*"
- ...
The key-in can be used in a batch process or in a VBA method executed on
closing a file (OnDesignFileClosed event).
