Generating Thumbnails

To generate thumbnails for editable components, that is, to generate the thumbnails when you save the ProE file to PLM, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Creo application, select Infor PLM > Preferences; the Integration Properties for Integration dialog box is displayed.
  2. Select the Generate thumbnails during save to PLM check box located under the Thumbnails category.

  3. Click OK.
  4. Click the Save to PLM option from Infor PLM menu.
    Note: Thumbnails are generated only for the editable components, that is, components with status Draft, and that are locked by you (current user). You can generate thumbnails for a Creo file, only when you have the ownership for the components.

    To generate thumbnails for Creo files saved to PLM and for non-editable files, complete the following steps:

    1. Open the Creo file.
    2. Click the Generate Thumbnails option on the PLM toolbar.
    Note: Thumbnails are deleted from the local system when you close the Creo application.
