The thumbnail with 3D Label is difficult to see the model.

It looks like when the model was first saved to MM, 3D labels were ON when the thumbnail was saved. To have a thumbnail without the 3D labels, resave just the thumbnail. How? - With the part loaded, go to the structure browser and right-click on the part, move to the MM commands and retake the thumbnail again without 3D labels. You also rotate the model so it's saved in an appropriate position.

OK this is a good tip for one or two model, but if I save an assembly with 100 new part and all thumbnail have 3D label is no good resave 100 thumbnail.
Why my vport1 have 3D label OFF and when automatic create thumbnail the little vport have 3D label ON?

Thanks David

To resave thumbnails for 100 part assembly, right-click the top-level assebly and use the recursive thumbnail option. This will save each level of the assembly, all the way down to the parts with a "draw-only" and "fit" thumbnail save. This is very each to do and fast.
To turn off 3D labels, right-click in your viewport and go to the Show Menu. In this menu you find the option to turn OFF or ON 3D labels.

Sorry David I don't know the recursive option of create thumbnail command, and I think is very useful, but remain the problem that my vport1 have 3D label OFF but if I create new viewport 3D label is ON therefore when new thumbnail is created the little viewport have 3D lable ON. How can I set 3D label OFF by default new viewport?

Thanks David

I've send this thread to support_europe@cocreate.com
This is the response

Dear Mr. Milano,

we received your call concerning the 3d Lbaels show when saving
multiple thumbnails within one assembly. (3d notes are visible
if vieport does not show any 3d labels)

First of all we need to verify this and if needed we are going to
create a defect report against this defect.

Best Regards,

Horst Kramer


Thanks David
