Re-connect visualization with file? Visualization Attachment is None, but the .dwfx file exists.

I have a number of files whose 'Visualization Attachment' property is 'None', but a .dwfx visualization file exists.

Example - file gasket1.iam exists and has 3 versions in the vault. file Gasket1.iam.dwfx also exists in the same folder and has 3 versions.  But the 'Visualization Attachment' property of the .iam is None, the vault client can't preview, and neither can the Web Client.

 

Attemptint to 'Update visualization' file either locally or via job processor fails, as duplicate files are not permitted.

 

I'd rather not delete the .dwfx, because I'd lose the previous versions & the ability to preview them.

 

Is there a way to re-attach the .dwfx to the .iam?

Is the DWFX file hidden?
