Summary


Details

How to globally turn off and ignore the Part Preview setting in all files. 
This would be useful for a large 'Force Save All' task and any large assembly 'Save' operations.



Solution

1. Open the file: %UGII_BASE_DIR%\UGII\ugii_eng_ug.dat 
2. After backing up this file, make the following needed change: 
 Uncomment out the following variable(s):


UGII_DISABLE_COMPONENT_PREVIEWS=ON 
 - will turn off the part preview generation for all components, but could 
still generate the preview image for the work/displayed part.


UGII_DISABLE_PREVIEW = ON 
 - will disable the preview generation under all circumstances. NOTE: with 
this option enabled, the "Create Preview Now" option on the "Preview" panel of 
the 'File-->Properties' dialog will be non-operational.
