The "Hurricane Preview" window doesn't work?


The Hurricane Preview window allows you to preview the drawing before adding it to the filequeue, or opening it.

More information on the Drawing Preview Window


If the preview window is gray/blank, one of the following is usually the cause:

1) The drawing is AutoCAD R12 or older (pre-R13 files do not include a preview bitmap).
If you work with older files, disable preview in Hurricane Options (Prefs tab).

2) The preview OCX on your system is not correctly registered.

3) Another installer replaced the preview OCX with an older/incompatible version.

To fix it:
1) Close Hurricane.
2) Find and delete DWGPREV.OCX from your Windows folder (for example, C:/WINDOWS/).
3) Restart Hurricane and test preview again.
