Thumbnail Overview
Thumbnail images can be found in lists, as well as on the Information Page. While a thumbnail can provide quick verification that the part you are viewing is indeed the part you were looking for, you can also click the thumbnail to open the product item in a more detailed, 3D image of the item for inspection and measurement.

• Thumbnail images generate automatically when you save parts and assemblies. If thumbnail images do not appear, your system may not be properly configured. Contact your system administrator for more information.
• As of Windchill 10.2, the Thumbnail Generator is no longer supported on UNIX. To generate server-side thumbnails for a Windchill server on the UNIX platform, you must configure a remote thumbnail worker and set the property thumbnail.usecadagent=true in the wvs.properties file.
• Refer to the “Configuring the Creo View Thumbnail Generator” section of the Creo View MCAD Adapter Installation and Configuration GuideCreo View MCAD Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for information on how to configure server-side thumbnail generation.
