eDrawings issue
eDrawings2012 is not registering its x86 component in a proper way, so when click the FullPreview tab of the TreePage, a message asks you to install eDrawing x86, even if it’s already installed and running.
Solution
You can solve the issue by manual register the eDrawings main dll as follows;
Open as administrator a MSDOS command prompt and type:
"C:\WindowsSysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\eDrawings2012\EModelView.dll"
Inventor issue
- Inventor 2012 out of the box is not able to properly show the Full Preview of a model.
We’ve already reported this issue to Autodesk support and we’re waiting for a fix. - If you receive a “viewer not installed” error while trying the DBInventor FullPreview in a x64 environment, you’ve to manually register a 32bit Autodesk control provided with Inventor installation.

Solution
For all of the above cases, open a MSDOS command prompt as administrator and type:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2014\bin\Bin32\InventorViewCtrl.ocx"
(please note the above path may change according with the Inventor version and installation path).
For previewing DWG files in an environment where no eDrawings is installed (common Autodesk users), open a MSDOS command prompt as administrator and type:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\DWG TrueView 2014\acctrl.dll"
If the above solution is still not effective (especially on windows 8.1), in order to use the just registered control you’ve to add following entries to the registry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Inventor.ViewControl.1] @="Autodesk Inventor View Control" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Inventor.ViewControl.1CLSID] @="{A6336AB8-D3E1-489A-8186-EE40F2E027FE}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Inventor.ViewControl.1Insertable] @=""
