Preview Window-File Open

[macduff]

Hey,
How come my preview window works on some parts, assemblies and drawings, and not others.........? My "preview" check box is selected and all files have been converted to SW2007. Is it a MS Windows bug? It's a pain-in-rear when you have a ton of parts listed.

Also, as I'm writing this....It would be real cool if the part, assembly and drawing descriptions were listed when you open files through SW. Could the software code be massaged to do this? Sounds like a cool enhancement request...Any thoughts...........?

Thanks,

EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE CONVERTED THEM TO 2007, YOU MAY STILL HAVE TO OPEN THEM AND THEN SAVE TO GET YOUR PREVIEW TO WORK (YES ITS A PAIN, BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY WAY TO AVOID IT)
