View DXF THUMBNAILS in folders!!!
Microsoft has released a FREE APP that lets you view DXF files in folders as THUMBNAILS!!!
You can select the background color. I chose ORANGE to make them obvious.
A sample is posted below.
Enjoy!

Looks cool but I can’t seem to make it work. Read everything, unchecked and checked the appropriate boxes and now I see thumbnails of cdr files but still no dxf’s. Ah well, worth a try.

Right click on a DXF thumbnail in any folder and select DXF THUMBNAILS as the viewer.

Tom — I have been using Irfanview for many years now. My version will show a thumbnail image preview for jpegs, but not for dxf.
Is there an add-on I need to do this?
Thanks,
David

David if you go to a file you want to open with Irfanview, right click the click on «open with» this brings up the menu with the different programs you can use to open it with. Choose the default program it Irfanveiw is not shown, and locate it on the HD. In the bottom there is a box with «Always use the selected program to open this kind of files» it will remember then when you click on the DXF files you have saved and they will now have the Cat Icon.

Tom — perhaps I am misunderstanding you. I think you are saying that I can change how the icon for a dxf file is displayed to the cat icon. I want the icon to show a preview of the actual dxf file. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
David

If you make the change to the DXF file look up as shown, I will change the Icon and when you click on it after that it will display an image of the DXF file. Your not wrong I just did not explain it well. It will fine all the DXF files you have and change the Icon and how they are displayed.

After I posted that I realize the OP was for «Thumbnails» this is just changes the display of files not a reorganizing of their location.

I am really happy with it too. It is nice to SEE what the file looks like in the thumbnails without needing to open it.

Подскажите просмотрщик

Доброго времени суток! Подскажите пожалуйста, есть ли такой просмотрщик, который бы отображал содержимое файлов .dxf в проводнике windows? По аналогии с тем, как отображается содержимое КОМПАС-файлов. Заранее спасибо!
P.S. Плагины для тотал-коммандера не предлагать.
Спасибо, попробовал, но не помогло. Большущий значок DXF есть, а отображения содержимого нет…
Думаю тут дело не в просмотрщике, а именно в проводнике windows. Не понимает он секцию THUMBNAILIMAGE из DXF
Хм, dwg у меня и так отображаются, а вот dxf нет, и предпросмотра слева нету….
Есть подозрение что в самой винде надо формат файлов с автокадом связать для просмотра. Ведь dwg просматривается по умолчанию, он поидее основной формат автокада…
ЗЫ есть еще eDrawings — может поможет…
Если windows в режиме показа эскизов не видит их, то никакое ПО, если оно пользуется стандартными диалогами открытия файлов не сможет показать вам этих эскизов.
Можете открыть Автокад (казалось бы, уж он то должен), но нет. Для файлов DXF он может только показать картинку предпросмотра, но вместо значка эскиз не отображается.
То есть можно сделать вывод, что такой просмотр невозможен? Но ведь компасовские файлы эскизируются, если компас установлен? Что же здесь мешает?
Цитата: FLYERok от 03.03.13, 20:46:32
Подскажите пожалуйста, есть ли такой просмотрщик…
Попробуйте Deep Explaration. В нем есть кнопка «Generate Thumbnauls», что позволяет генерировать изображения как в проводнике Windows.
tolikwu, спасибо за ссылки, попробовал, но опять же не получается. Сплошь логотипы этих программ отображаются.
Pav, спасибо за возможный вариант. Надо подумать. Хотелось бы программу полегче, но… Может и подойдёт.
Плагин ulister + oracal biblioteki смотритт 600 форматов в том числе DWG /DXF и лучше и быстрей невидел. эти библиотеки и покупают для производства софта гиганты софтверные!

Windows File Explorer Preview .dxf and .dwg files without having to open them
Hi.
All I basically need is a way to preview .dxf and .dwg files from my Windows File Explorer without having to actually open the files individually.
I only want to rename files into a logical naming convention for ease of finding old files.
I do not do any editing etc. of the contents of the files.
Currently getting ‘No Preview Available’ message.
Thanks

Opening .dwg filesIt is not a Windows file.
You will have to make the choice of what you want to use.
Use 3rd party programs at your own risk
DWG File Extension — What is a .dwg file and how do I open it?
A DWG file is a database of 2D or 3D drawings created with AutoCAD, a professional
CAD program. It contains vector image data and
metadata that describes the contents of the file. DWG files are related to
.DXF files, which are ASCII versions of DWG files.DWG files can be viewed on Windows using Autodesk’s free DWG TrueView program. They may also be opened by other third-party applications that support the DWG format.

dxf explorer vorschau
Hi,
>> and save files in dxf format.
Do you know that DXF-files
- need about 3 to 10 times longer to save?
- are up to a factor 10 to 50 larger than DWG-files?
- don’t have security checks like CRC?
I would never save to DXF as default.
