Mastercam 2017 parts file icon delima

[WOODS7]

Is anyone having trouble or know how to fix a problem I am having with my parts icons in Mastercam 2017? I have attached a picture so you can see what I am talking about. In the picture you can see when I save my part file in Mastercam X9 I get a good visual of what my part is which helps when I am going through my files looking for a part. To the right of it you can see the Mastercam 2017 file and it is just a black screen. (I would like to point out that I do have my screen that I create in set to black.) Is there something I need to do to get it to show my part? I didn't have to change anything in X9 and it worked perfect so now I am left just scratching my head.. Any input would be appreciated.. Thank you!

File - Configuration - Files (page), check that the "Include bitmap in file when saving" is checked.

If it is and you're still not getting the file preview, check this "Lost thumbnails" thread over @ mastercam.com ->

Try changing your backgroud color ... maybe what you are seeing the the middle of your sceen.

 

Just a thought.

The steps described in that thread that Roger pointed you too should work ... what you're seeing will happen if the X9 version gets re-registered after you've installed 2017 (maybe by repairing X9 or installing an update)
