Vault 2015 file preview

I have installed Vault 2015.  When I go to "Select file from vault" window, I used to get a preview of the file I selected, but now the preview is not there.  Any idea where it went ?

Through which CAD program? Can you submit a screen shot of where the preview isn't showing but used to show?

The cad program is Inventor 2015.  Here is the screen shot.

Oh, I suspect the preview you mean is the thumbnail.  Click the button at the top right called Change View and select Medium or Large Icons.  Or you can select Details and add the thumbnail column if it isn't already there.  You cant have a thumbnail based on the view type you've currently got shown there.

No.  I don't mean a thumbnail view that you get when you change the view to small or large icon.  The preview in question was located on the bottom left side which gave you a preview of the file you selected.  I checked one computer that has Vault 2013 installed on it, and the preview is there.  I suspect Autodesk has removed this feature for whatever reason.  This causes a lot of work flow issues now.

Sorry yes you're right, I hadn't even noticed as I usually have thumbnails on.  Doesn't look like there's any setting either which controls the visibility of that.

 

This will need official comment from Autodesk as to the explanation/reason why this has been pulled.

To recover space in that far left column and because you can change your view in the main grid or add the thumbnail column, the Thumbnail view you are referring to was removed.

Add the thumbnail column?

The thumbnail column can't be viewed with the view is set to 'list'.  So now if you are viewing the layout in list mode there is no way to preview the content.  It was an oversight by the devs and they have been asked to consider putting this back into the product as it's clearly a removal of useful functionality.
