    Geocomp.shx

    Hi guys,


    just a general question.

     

    got sent a drawing from an architect when i open it dialog box appears asks to find geocomp.shx file.

     

    i used to work for a guy that used an old dos based program called geocomp. is this file related to that program or is the name just coincidence?

     

    what is a .shx file and what does it do? what effect will it have on the drawings if i do not link this file?

     

    cheers.

    SHX is likely a font, or bigfont (text symbols): anything missing or look odd in the file?

    Did you ask the file sender for the SHX file?
