proxy elements not working? Can you elaborate?

They worked when I was running Windows xp and are working on other computers. From my computer, they show up as a blank rectangel with an x through it. See attached.

Thank you for your post. One thing to check is the PROXYGRAPHICS variable. I have listed details on this below for reference.  I hope this helps.

Generating Proxy Graphics

Use this procedure to create proxy graphics in a drawing to be made available to users who do not have the software.

Proxy graphics store the last-viewed image of AEC objects, which lets users view your drawing without modifying the original objects. Proxy graphics store only the display representation for the currently active viewport.

NoteDepending on its complexity and density, a drawing saved with proxy graphics turned on can become extremely large and can slow drawing performance. It is recommended that you make a copy of the drawing before turning proxy graphics on if you want to share the drawing with other users.

1. Arrange the view for which you want to create proxy graphics.
2. At the command line, enter proxygraphics.
3. Enter 1.
4. Save the drawing.
5. To turn off proxy graphics, enter proxygraphics, and then enter 0.
