Please mind:
Sometimes generating the ICN can lead to considerable waiting times. If the Save ICN display with drawing status is active, the new message Save drawing (generate ICN designations for viewer) will be displayed in the user guidance (info toolbar) during the saving process. This enables you to see that the status is active and could possibly be the cause of the waiting time.
