Preview
When reading and saving a model file, VisCAM automatically generates a preview picture of the
content of the model file, which is saved in a preview database. In case of the selection of a
model file in the file view, the corresponding preview picture is searched for in the preview
database, and if it is available, it is displayed automatically in the preview. With the preview
function, the search for particular model files in a large amount of data is efficiently supported
and simplified.
The preview function can be switched on or off in File options. Besides, the path and the
maximum size of the preview database can be defined in file options. In workgroups with several
VisCAM RP licenses the preview database can be installed on a shared directory device in the
network, for instance, and so enable access from all workstations. The consistency check of the
database ensures that no conflicts will amount in case of externally altered model files or
different files that have the same name. If the preview database reaches its preset maximum
size, the oldest preview pictures will be deleted automatically in order to clear new memory
space for current preview pictures.
