Inventor Thumbnail Generation

Hello Everyone,

 

  We have ~100K Inventor dwg files within Autodesk Vault Professional that do not have their Thumbnails ('Save Preview Picture" toggle turned on). There are >150K Inventor dwg within the same Vault that do.  Previously, the drawing template file had that toggle turned off, that has since been altered.

 

  What I want to do is take all the dwg files that have that toggle off, open up the file, update it, save it, close it, check it in.

 

  If anyone has done something similar in the past, I would like to know how you approached it.  iLogic, VB, etc.

 

Thank you,
Bryan

Thanks,
Bryan
