Display thumbnail in properties panel (left side of main grid) in Aras Innovator

There is a built-in function which can show thumbnail of an item like below picture, but it is not exclusive for CAD Document and could be very easily done by configuration.

Just creating a property named "thumbnail" with "Image" DataType for ItemType. That's all!
