SetThumbnailSaveOption bad image resoluation

[psaarloos]

Hi,

I am using the code below to specify my own custom image for an Inventor document, but somehow the resolution is always bad (rough edges), even if the source image I am specifying looks fine in Windows Explorer. What's the best format and size to create an image to import as thumbnail? Is there a better way to modify the thumbnail for a document?

Thanks in advance for your help!

myDocument.SetThumbnailSaveOption(ThumbnailSaveOptionEnum.kImportFromFile, thumbnailFilePath)

I don't know what the official size should be but I used the following iLogic rule to test some sizes. The best result I got with a size 256x256.

Dim size As Integer = 256
Dim fileName As String = "c:\temp\tumber.bmp"

Dim cam As Camera = ThisApplication.ActiveView.Camera
cam.ViewOrientationType = ViewOrientationTypeEnum.kIsoTopLeftViewOrientation
cam.Fit()
cam.ApplyWithoutTransition()
cam.SaveAsBitmap(fileName, size, size)

Dim doc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
doc.SetThumbnailSaveOption(ThumbnailSaveOptionEnum.kImportFromFile, fileName)
doc.Save()
