Is this what you need?

[Darkforce_the_ilogic_guy]

No.  I need to be ably to see the finished part. We are using Content center to create custom part with a lot of properties on.  so we start out selecter a round bars Ø35 x lenght  by using the Counter Center as custom 

then we might add some more feature after that.. Today All Round bart thoumbnail looks like this

no matter what we have done with it.. I want to see the real part that might look like this

 

or

This is a document setting. Change it in iProperties window -> Save

[Darkforce_the_ilogic_guy]

Looks like that work.  is that a change i need to make on the templete file  or  a setting in inventor .. If I want all files like that ?

thanks for the help so fare 😀

In my opinion it is not possible to change this setting in template, because each family in ContentCentrer has it's own template 

But you can switch it by simple iLogic script (before save, after new, etc.).

Dim doc As Document = ThisDoc.Document
doc.SetThumbnailSaveOption(ThumbnailSaveOptionEnum.kActiveComponentIsoViewOnSave)

If it's useful to anyone, I run this from Part or Assembly level to modify ALL parts to ISO view of Thumbnail. Enjoy.

Public Sub Main()

	If ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject Then
		Dim oDoc As PartDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
		Try			
			'set iproperty to use ISO view on save
			oDoc.SetThumbnailSaveOption _
			(ThumbnailSaveOptionEnum.kActiveComponentIsoViewOnSave)
			
			'save the file
			oDoc.Save
		Catch
		End Try

	ElseIf ThisApplication.ActiveDocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject		

		Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
		Dim oFileInfo As String = oDoc.FullFileName
		
		Dim result = MessageBox.Show("You're running multiple parts in this Assembly " & vbCr & fileName & vbCr & "Do you want to continue??", "Run GS and Other Rules", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1)
		If result = vbOK Then
			RunExternalRules
		Else
			Return
		End If
		
		Dim oProgressBar As Inventor.ProgressBar
		oProgressBar = ThisApplication.CreateProgressBar(False, PartCount, oMessage, True)
	
	End If

End Sub

Sub RunExternalRules
	
	Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument
	oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
	Dim iDoc As Document
	
	'Set counter for counting parts
	Dim iPartCount As Integer
	iPartCount = 0
	
	'Progress bar
	oMessage = "Editing All Parts And Saving, Please Wait..."
	PartCount = oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments.Count
	
	Dim oProgressBar As Inventor.ProgressBar
	oProgressBar = ThisApplication.CreateProgressBar(False, PartCount, oMessage, True)
	
	Dim assembly As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document	
	'Iterate through all of the occurrences in the assembly
	For Each iDoc In oDoc.AllReferencedDocuments
		
		iPartCount = iPartCount + 1		
		Dim fileName As String  = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(iDoc.FullFileName)
				
		'Update the progress bar
		'If UserWantsToCancel Then Return
		oProgressBar.Message = ("Working on part " & iPartCount & " of " & PartCount & " | " & fileName)
		oProgressBar.UpdateProgress		
	
		Try
			ThisApplication.Documents.Open(iDoc.FullFileName)
			'set iproperty to use ISO view on save
			IDoc.SetThumbnailSaveOption _
			(ThumbnailSaveOptionEnum.kActiveComponentIsoViewOnSave)
			
			'save the file
			iDoc.Save
			iDoc.Close
		Catch
			iDoc.Close
		End Try		
	Next
	
	oProgressBar.Close
		
End Sub

Private Function UserWantsToCancel(oprogressBar As Inventor.ProgressBar)
	If (UserClickedOnCancel) Then
		MsgBox("User clicked cancel and it has been detected now.")
		
		' Add code here for clean exit of the rule.
		' If you work with transactions then this could be 
		' the place To role back any changes
		
		oprogressBar.Close()
		Return True
	End If
	Return False
