Preview AutoCAD file in explorer 1

[solracesoj]

Is there a way to preview AutoCAD file in explorer? Like it happens when we open the file through AutoCAD?

Thanks

Hi hawkeye22!

Thanks for the reply!

Could you tell me how to enable the preview of the AutoCAD file in the explorer?

Thanks again!

From Autodesk PointA:

To enable a Drawing Explorer folder

Start Windows Explorer.
Navigate to a folder that contains AutoCAD® drawing files.
From the View menu, make sure As Web Page has a check mark next to it. If it doesn't, choose the As Web Page option from the menu.
Right-click the folder and choose Dwg Explorer from the shortcut menu.
From the View menu, choose Refresh.
Select an AutoCAD drawing (.dwg or .dwt) file to view a preview image and summary information about the file.
