Question:

After saving or upgrading a family file, some thumbnails fail to display correctly in Windows Explorer.

How to generate missing thumbnails:

1. Open the missing thumbnail view in the source file.
2. Go to Save As > Options, and if the view or drawing is outdated, select the option to regenerate it.
