You can generate thumbnail images for 2D or 3D files attached to a document by completing the following steps:
-
Select a document and click Actions > Show Files.
-
Select a file and click Actions > Generate Thumbnails to generate thumbnails for the supported file types.
To view the generated thumbnails for a file, you can click Show Thumbnails under the file's Relationship menu.
-
By default, you cannot generate a thumbnail for a file which already has one. However, if you are an administrator you can change the default behavior to allow the regeneration of thumbnails, by updating the GenerateThumbnail client API.
-
If you are an administrator, you can enable auto generate thumbnails whenever a document is created, revised and checked in.
-
The thumbnails of a file are especially useful when you want to view the content of the file without opening it.
-
To view the status of thumbnail generation, you can view the List of Notifications.
