Tasks performed:

- Setting in "folder option"

- Activation of the Solidwoks option

- Software reinstallation (Solidworks 2014)

Always the same problem.

Thanks in advance...

I have Edrawing 2014 and 2016.

Be careful maybe to have two, windows doesn't know which one to put and so it doesn't put any!?

Here I have machines with 5-6 versions of Sw installed (including edrawing so), there are 2 that have the problem, the others work fine.

Ah!? I had always been told to be wary because several versions of software could quickly become problematic. But apparently it can still work.

Thanks for the info;)

Reinstalled Solidworks 2014 and again no display in the preview pane.

 

FYI I haven't looked again at how to solve the problem.
