Option to permanently disable pdm preview tab

Robert Pancoast Jul 17, 2017 9:40 AM

Greetings,

Sometimes, I accidentally click on a very large assembly in the PDM browser.

Then I have to wait for all the cogs and whistles to load to generate the preview.

This feature is very disruptive to my train of thought.

I am wondering if there is an option to permanently disable the preview of PDM browser.

Thanks!

coast

You can uncheck File Preview in the Display Menu. What I like to do is check the "Show bitmap for Solidworks Files" under Display>Options so it will show a preview but it uses the thumbnail bitmap which is much faster. Then you can click the preview and it will switch to 3D at that time.
