Change default image export file format

Change default image export file format

Please change the default file format when exporting images. The default is BMP and makes unnecessary big files. PNG or JPEG would be a much better choice. They are available but each restart of inventor brings back the BMP filetype by default.

Inventor 2026 seems to have lost this remembered format feature. I would like it in the current version of Inventor.
