You need to set up your thumbnail preview. See the link and image below

"While opening the DWG file it does not show drawing preview."

 

I can't understand. WHILE opening? Guessing the same as hwalker, you mean a preview-image while you are

in OPEN dialog (or where?) and not while ACAD opens a file.

 

While this option is enabled, save a DWG(!) file, close the file and test it again.

 

If we are off the track, show us what you are talking about (Screenshots and further descriptions)

If I see the file icon in Windows Explorer, it seems that the DWG file is not associated with AutoCAD as the default program.

Follow this instruction to associate the file: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/DWG-file-type-asso...

And see if it fix the problem.

Cheers,
