Preview SW Parts/Drawings in Windows Explorer ?
Preview SW Parts/Drawings in Windows Explorer ?
(OP)
Does anyone know if it is possible to preview Drawings / Models in Windows Explorer (for Win XP)?
Like the way Pictures, Videos, html, etc... are previewed in that little frame on the left (if the folders and everything else is off)
If so, I think you would need to tweak the registery...
If anyone knows how, please share the solution with me, so I don't spend to much time looking into it
Thanks in advance,
-Josh

Maximize the window & expand "Details" & you should see a preview, albeit low quality & distorted, of SW parts, assemblies & drawings.
My system has always shown the previews & I did not have to create any scripts or do any registry tweaks.
Hope this helps...If it does not then maybe it is a graphics card "problem".

I am running SW 2001+ on Win XP Pro
My SW does have that option, and I checked it, but I don't see any differnce in explorer...
It does show the previews in the SW Open Dialog, (and always has) but it does not show the previews in Explorer...
I might try restarting my pc later on today and I will post the results back here if it works.
In the mean time, are there any other Ideas?

While in windows explore select tools>folder options>under web view make sure that enable web content is selected.
I am running win 2000 and soldiworks 2003.
I dont know if it will work for sw 2001+.
