missing material thumbnails

How can I resolve this?

Inventor 2013  (i've seen it in 2015 too!)

 

Thanks

This is a known issue with the "Compatibility" graphics setting. The following is from the Inventor 2013 "Read Me" file:

 

"On the Application Options, Hardware tab, when you select Compatibility, limited functionality sometimes occurs, including missing thumbnails in Appearance and Material editors, on the View tab Texture On/Off does not function, and so on."

 

Try a different graphics setting and/or make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

 

Best regards,

Charles

Thanks Charles

 

I have 2015 installed too & the thumnails work, it's 2013 where they don't.

Will look to update graphics driver just incase.
