SolidWorks file icon not present

Hello

We sometimes have problems with the SolidWorks icons (both in the trunk and outside) when installing a workstation.

It seems to me that I have already seen a topic dealing with this subject on the forum, but it never got a response that worked and the topic was abandoned.

 

Our info service will also look for the problem and maybe reinstall my computer a third time...

 

So do you have any idea where the problem may come from?

 

Thank you.

Hello

I think the problem comes from these parameters of what I understand about the problem:

You then have to check all the locations as well as restore the associations, and it should be fine:)

Hello

Are you talking about icons or thumbnails that replace icons?

Thank you for your answers.
So I'll detail the problem.

What Azrod said is interesting, but I already have everything checked and even clicking "Restore file associations" doesn't change anything.

 

Here's what I get in the chest:

What I get outside the trunk:

What I should get in the chest:

What I should get outside of the trunk:

 

Thank you.

Normally if the " Show graphics samples in Windows Explorer" viewing option is checked, it should work.

 

See the topic opposite:

This option is already checked, I tried to uncheck it and then check it again, nothing to do.

 

Here is the topic of a person who has exactly the same problems as me: http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/solidworks/restaurer-les-icones-solidworks-dans-l-explorateur But as you can see, no solution has been found.

I allow myself to make a little UP, does anyone have an idea?

Normally it is enough to re-register the parts and the plans....

It seems to me that it doesn't work, and moreover I don't think I would have fun re-recording about 30,000 songs :p

We also have this problem, we went from Solidworks 2015 to 2016 and when we re-register it works. It's clear that we haven't done everything but as we work on the projects we do it.

Ok, I tested it anyway, but that doesn't solve the problem.

 

The strange thing is that this does not happen on all positions. When the computer scientist installed mine, on her Windows session the icons were visible and as soon as I connected to mine everything disappeared.

 

So she tried to reinstall my PC with my session, but the icons didn't work.

An IT guy tried to repair SW and reinstall the PDM. That didn't solve the problem.

When you right-click on a part and click on properties, the parts open successfully with the SOLIDWORKS Launcher???

13

Yes.

14

when solidworks is open but without a file. Go to tools==>opions==>File Explorer and check all the boxes.

15

I've already been told, everything is already ticked. I also attempted to click on "Restore File Associations"

16

And nothing has changed???

17

Unfortunately not...

 

(I'm a KVuilleumier, but on my Personal account. I won't have access to SW until Friday).

Thank you

Is it the SP3?

If not, maybe SP4 will solve the problem...

19

Yes, it's the SP3.

I don't know if we will be able to switch quickly to SP4. I'll keep you posted if I have any news. Thank you.

No solution a priori.

Apparently reinstalling SolidWorks and the PDM (in this order!) would fix the problem.
