View Autocad previews in Explorer

[LT.Seabee]

There used to be a shell Explorer program that would allow you to right click a dwg file and it would show up the bmp preview in the pop up menu. Does anyone know of one that works with 2002 or above? Or is it possible to get some code and create something?

Thanks! :shock:

What version of windows are you using. With 2000, you get a preview right in explorer (see screen shot). Is this something like what you are looking for?

I'm using Windows XP, and get the same preview, but would like to have the one in the pop up menu so that I don't have to have the exporer with folders off.

Thanks - thats actually what I have to use now, but know there's something better. :grin:
