Save part preview in ISO rapresentation

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
exist an option in the customer default that during the part save, NX generates the part preview always in ISO view representation ?
This because when I open a part, I find the part preview in zoom representation.

Thank you...

Out-of-the-box, the preview saved with a part file is how it appeared on the screen when it was last saved.

If however, you would like to save the preview using a specific orientation or display option, go to...

File -> Properties -> Preview

...and while this dialog is open, orient your model view as would like it to appear in the preview and then under the 'Part Preview' portion of the dialog, set the 'Creation Time' option to 'On Demand', press the 'Create Preview Now' button and then hit OK. Now no matter what orientation or display mode that you're in when you save your file, it will appear as it did when you pressed the 'Create Preview Now' button (remember, you still have to SAVE your file before any of this is actually saved). Now be aware that until you go back and either set this back to the 'On Save' mode or manually capture another image, this will the preview that you will see from here on out since the system will no longer be doing it automatically upon save. In other words, the preview will not change even if you make changes to your model or assembly.

I've gotten into the habit of simply pressing the "Home" key before saving my file. The "Home" key reorients to a trimetric view and performs a fit operation.

Hi,
the preview of the specification saved on each save is always maximized.

Press the 'home' key before the save command is a time consuming.
Not for the time, but because you have to remember before to save.
There are other situation where the assembly save, save the component modified or sub-assembly and you have to open each modified files, pres 'home' key and save.

For me it's time for an ER as option in the customer default.
The code is the same as in the specification.

Thank you...

If you open that ER it will simply be a waste of both your time and that of GTAC person who answers the phone since there is no way that something like this would ever be considered for implementation. Trust me, after about the 3rd time you saved a large or complex model or assembly with this option toggled ON you'd turn it OFF and never think about again.
