A2009 File Preview Images
While we're talking about A2009 - and particularly the big red "A" (officially named the "Menu Browser") there is an inconspicuous feature that is available when you view Recent Documents that you may not have been aware of.
First, click Menu Browser (the big red A).
Next, click Recent Documents (down at the bottom) to display a list of the last 10 drawings you opened.
Now, click the (unnamed) button in the upper right corner of that drawing list to see the file display options - Icons, Small Images, Medium Images, or Large Images.
Sweet!
To give credit where credit is due, I think I found this tidbit of information in something Heidi Hewett had on her blog. Heidi is an employee of Autodesk and is the person responsible for the AutoCAD Preview Guides. If you have not visited Heidi's blog site, check it out, especially if you didn't have the opportunity to visit Autodesk University this year. http://heidihewett.blogs.com

Donate to CADTutor
If you found this article useful, you might like to consider making a donation. All content on this site is provided free of charge and we hope to keep it that way. However, running a site like CADTutor does cost money and you can help to improve the service and to guarantee its future by donating a small amount. We guess that you probably wouldn't miss $5.00 but it would make all the difference to us.
Note from Michael: I want to thank all of my customers for continuing to retain my training services (some for over two decades!) and let you know your donations do not go to me personally, but to the ongoing maintenance of the CADTutor ship as a whole and to support the yeoman efforts of my friend and CADTutor captain, David Watson, to whom I am grateful for this monthly opportunity to share a few AutoCAD insights.
