Favourites Preview Incorrect

Hi all,

 

How is the preview image in Favourites generated? I created a few for a label, and the preview image does not match the object preview... Are text labels with a frame stuck with a generic two squiggly lines in a box image?

My text label Favourites show correctly. They show where it has an outline applied, the correct colours and any leaders. They were all created prior to 29 though. I haven’t added any new since. 

I am having issues though with Favourite previews displaying blank for almost all Zones and some Fills.

It is not actually a text label, but a custom one based on the label_marker_form macro, that the text label apparently does not use... and the label_content_macro.

I have not used favourites much, but I have started putting more together to try and reduce my required cleanup on other peoples drawings... My Zones are showing coloured 3D cubes.

Favourites are life changing 🙂

 

We have 500+ in our Template, it makes everything so much quicker. My Favourites for Zones do show as 3D cubes with colour, the 2D previews don't work. There is a workaround to force them to refresh but it's really annoying.

 

Honestly, invest some time in setting up Favourites, you won't regret it.
