I have a bunch of AutoCad files stored in .dwg format.

I am running exiftool on a Mac (OSX 10.8.3)

I have found a few utilities that allow me to view the files on a mac, but my goal is to create desktop icons and/or Thumbnail previews for them.

Anyone have any experience here. Search for ".dwg" yielded "0" results!!!

Hi James,

ExifTool deals with metadata, not the images themselves.  What you need is something that will downsize a DWG image.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
