DCL Thumbnail not showing for some routines.

I'm running AutoCAD 2015 and recently ran into a problem with some of my customized menus not displaying thumbnail images. What is wired is that it works for one and not the other. Also, for the one not displaying, the function works fine just cant see the associated image.

I'm thinking it has to do with a variable that is not set correcctly or a work path not defined but not sure where to start.

Those images displayed inside a dcl box most likely are slides (*.sld) from inside a slide library (*.slb) file.

I would search for the location of the command that brings up the Fesco Symbols dcl box and make sure that same path is set in the search path under Options>File tab>Supported File Search Path

Thanks for the suggestion - I found the slide files and set the search path but no luck so far. Do you know of any system variable that is associated with these slide files.

Since I'm not aware of that command because most likely it's a 3rd party add-in, you'll need to contact them to see if they can help you resolve this problem.

The routine not working is home grown and not a 3rd party.

Since it's home grown and there are no copyright issues, post the routine that is not working including lsp, dcl, slb files so we can all take a look.

It turns out my AutoCAD was corrupted - we recently upgrade to 2016 and the thumbnails are showing again. Thanks for your help
