Quick Look on a desktop DWG file does not work. It shows me a system icon instead of my drawing

[davidsemail916]

Attached is a screenshot when I right click a DWG file and select Quick Look.

I changed the Thumbsize to 8, and Thumbsize2D to 1, and ThumbSave to 1

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @davidsemail916 ,

Do you have only AutoCAD for Mac 2024  installed? Or you have some other AutoCAD version installed on your Mac?

Are there any other applications installed on your Mac that can open DWG files?

Have you installed the latest Update to AutoCAD for Mac  2024?

[davidsemail916]

Sorry for the late reply.  It's been a long day and I'm just now getting home.  I do not have any other AutoCAD or any other program that can view DWG files installed.  Thanks!

And what about the Update I mentioned?

[davidsemail916]

No other versions or update.  Just the same 2024 for Mac I've had.

Oh, I didn't know that was a clickable link.  Ok, I will update now!  thank you!
