Thumbnail missing

When I go to insert a wire connection type or insert an manual footprint, the thumbnails are missing. I can't figure out where the breakdown is.

I did leave off an important variable about this, I am setup to work off a network.

Hi @Anonymous,

Since you're working with files stored on a network, are your schematic libraries paths in Project Properties pointed in the right direction?

If the paths are correct, but you're still not seeing the thumbnails, you might try copying the WD_LOCAL.slb file from C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx\Acade\Support\en-US to the location where your library paths are pointing. It looks like this solution worked for the user in this forum thread from last year.
