0:08
no preview thumbnail issue in a file explorer this tutorial is not going to be about the part
0:17
modeling this is going to be to fix the thumbnail preview issue when we open any free cat part so
0:26
here I have a model so many part in free cat and for example if I have a
0:33
randomly save any part with any random name and I want to search this part from
0:41
my directory then it is very difficult for me to open the all the parts and
0:48
find out the part which I require because of the no thumbnail preview in a
0:55
file explorer so to fix this problem I have a search over the internet and I
1:04
found a communication thread on a free CAD forum and I have a tested the
1:16
solutions given here and I will explain you how you can fix this issue so before
1:22
moving the further you can visit my website macnexus.com where I write
1:31

2:13
tutorial for a thumbnail preview issue in a free cat we have to install a DLL
2:25
file so here on forum.freecat.org open this link and download the zip file
2:40
which is a downloaded here and extract this file so once you open this file you
2:50
will get a DLL file here so based on your system either you are using the
3:00
windows 32 bit or a 64 bit so copy the DLL file and now now move to this path C
3:15
slash Windows system 32 and paste that DLL file as I have already pasted that
3:25
DLL file on this locations once you install the DLL file at the location
3:32
then run this command from the command prompt just go to the search bar and
3:37
type the CMD which is the command prompt and you have to run this command prompt regsvr32 and press the enter I
3:53
will provide this complete URL of this communication thread in a video
3:59
description so if you have any doubt then you can refer this thread now let's
4:06
try some files so here I will move to my part directory and here I will browse
4:19
from here and let's see try some part so here you can see that part number 28
4:27
thumbnail is showing and if I move to the part number 29 thumbnail is not
4:33
showing so I will click on this part 29 tutorial number 29 and I open it and now
4:41
all I have to save this file so once I save this file one thumbnail will be
4:48
saved now I will close it and move to the file directory and see that part 29
4:55
so you can see that thumbnail is showing now now let's try the another part which
5:01
is a free cat part modeling tutorial 30 no thumbnail is showing here and if I
5:07
open it just I save it and close it here part 30 so you can see that our
5:19
thumbnail has been saved let's try the part 31 just click and save close it
5:30
go to the file Explorer and see the part 31 so you can see that a thumbnail has
5:37
been saved now it is very easy for me to identify the part which I required now let go without the file opening option from the free CAD let go with a
5:55
Windows file Explorer options and let's check from the here so you can see that
6:02
we are seeing the thumbnails here so similarly you can do the same thing for
6:10
all the parts just open the free CAD part and save it so that one thumbnail
6:17
image will be the same so this is all about how to fix this issue of a
6:25
thumbnail preview in free cad and I will provide this zip file path in my video description and it
6:37
is it is a very authentic one because it is officially from the free cad forum website
