3.1.5.6. Image import - filelist.txt 3.1.5.6.3. Import preview images
Prev	Next

There are two opportunities to make preview images available which are both controlled via the GENERATEMISSING key:

Generate missing preview images automatically (default)

[PREVIEWIMPORT]
GENERATEMISSING=1

The following settings options are available:

Color scheme for preview images
```
[PREVIEWIMPORT]
COLORSCHEME=blank
```
Possible values: All block names in $CADENAS_USER/colorschemes.cfg (8.1, 9.0, Purist, Metal, Wood, CAD: Catia V5, CAD: SolidEdge, CAD: SolidWorks, CAD: Unigraphics, CAD: OneSpace Designer, CAD: Pro/ENGINEER, CAD: Inventor, blank, 2D)

Default: blank
Display for preview images
```
[PREVIEWIMPORT]
SCENEVIEW=ISOMETRIC
```
Values: FRONT, BACK, LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM, ISOMETRIC, DIMETRIC, TRIMETRIC

Default: ISOMETRIC
Size of preview images
- width
  
  Width of image to be created (only used if "convert" or "generateMissing" are equal to '1')
  
  Default: 150
  
  If "convert" equals '0', then the available preview images are used in the original size (independent of the set value).
- height
  
  Height of image to be created. This specification only works if "convert" or "generateMissing" are equal to '1'.
  
  Default: 150
  
  If "convert" equals '0', the available preview images are used in the original size (independent of the set value).

	Caution
	For the generation, OpenGL must be available, which is usually the case! If the Classimporter is carried out as "planned task", this may not be the case.

Import existing preview images

[PREVIEWIMPORT]
GENERATEMISSING=0

	Note
	Even if GENERATE_MISSING is turned on, existing images may still be used in case the name in the `filelist.txt` is available, or the name of the convention (cp. Name assignment and/or name convention under Section 3.1.5.6.1, “General settings”) suffices!

Preview images correspond to classes. The only possible setting is "OnClass=1". "OnVariant" must be set to '0'.

[STLIMPORT]
OnClass=1

Preview images are displayed in the PARTdataManager in th directory tree and under Symbols/Details.

	Note
	In this case the columns CLASSNAME and PREVIEWFILE are standard and must be filled out; the field MATNR must remain empty.

	Note
	Make the preview images available in the format 150 x 150 pixel.
