Drawing thumbnail

What's everyone using to access drawing thumbnails these days?

 

A home grown version OCX. It is the foundation for an XRef and block insertion utility viewed via the thumbnail.

thanks Frank, in case I never said it before

LOL! I'd forgotten all about that. I hear the drawing format has changed
and ImageView no longer works with new drawings. I might have to look
into that some time.

You're welcome.

 

Still works - this is a screenshot from mdt2005, running my code which uses
the imageview.cls for the preview.

No joke?! That's too cool. I'll have to revisit that code. Thanks for
the tip.

 

You can use the Win32 API:

For what it's worth, I just tried it with a Building Systems drawing
complete with ductwork, wires and devices and that worked too.

I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
