    Seems to me there is a way to update component thumbnails without exploding and remaking the component. I just can't remember how. Could someone refresh my memory?

      This script refreshes your thumbnails whenever you open a model... or you can type/paste refreshthumbnails [+<enter>] in the Ruby Console at any time...Put in the Plugins folder...

        Hi TIG. Thanks for that. I tried it but it doesn't seem to do anything. I tried both reopening the model as well as typing in the Console.

          You have to have changed the component at some point ?

            I changed the axis location after creating the component. I made 3D Text components, rotated them to vertical and changed their axes to determine the insertion point.
