Detail Preview Image

When you are selecting a detail to be added, its preview image is displayed in a dialog box. The preview image is automatically generated from a Vertex drawing.

If necessary, you can also use another image file in PNG, BMP or JPG format. You must then add a PREVIEW_IMAGE field in the DETAILS database and enter the name of the file in it. The image file is placed in the folder containing the VXP file.

The thumbnail image generated in the DesignStream system is loaded as the preview image of details stored in the DesignStream system.

The opening of the detail preview image is defined in the BDSXX keyword group under the keyword detail_disable_open_preview:

• detail_disable_open_preview= 0 : The preview image is always opened.
• detail_disable_open_preview= 1 : The preview image will not be opened, if the image requires launching another application (for example Adobe Reader).
