    Hi Jade

    great app but I find the size of the preview a little bit too small.
    Is there a way to resize the preview image (I tried to apply a sort of scale
    factor in the code, but the number of pixels stay the same and the result is
    not convincing at all...)

    Thanks a lot

    Gilles

    Hi Gillies;

    Maybe other people can correct me if I am wrong, but the preview file is
    generated as a BMP within the DWG when you save the file. In the app, If
    you did make the window bigger it was just become pixelated.

    Sorry I am not sure how to make it bigger otherwise......

    But....the code is from http://www.vbdesign.net/ they have some good
    forums, they might help ya further....

    Not sure, I believe the code is from http://www.vbdesign.net/You might want
    to log in to there user forum
