"Thumbnail" not shown in tool manager after creating 3D tool

Recommended Posts

I've been using Mcam, happily creating 2D tools for a few years now. I decided to dip my toes into making 3D tools. So far the biggest hitch is I'm not getting an "icon" or a "thumbnail" in my tool manager screen. Does anyone know what I need to do differently, short of going back to 2D tools? 

Please see the image attached, in addition to the mcam file, uploaded.

I did use the search function, but did not find an answer. Thanks in advance!

I'm also looking for an answer to this... Are you in 2023?

 

I have noticed it happens most often to me when I try to modify a 3D tool that I have previously created, and then the thumbnail will go away.

I can still use the "export geometry to a level" option and the tool data is still all there.
