SHAPE.SHX

I am the facility manager for a national monument.

I just received AutoCAD drawings of a newly completed construction
project at the monument. Unfortunately, two files used in the drawings,
ARCH.SHX and SHAPE.SHX, were omitted from the cd rom. There seems to be
no way for us to determine exactly which subcontractor used these fonts
in the drawings they were responsible for.

I've managed to find a copy of ARCH.SHX, but so far have struck out on
SHAPE.SHX.

Does anyone know where a copy of this font can be located?

Thanks.

Are you sure it's a font file and not a shape file? If it prompts you for the file when you open the drawing, then it's a shape file - which could have be created by anyone - meaning you would most likely have to find the creator, not just any old file called "shape.shx".

See R.K. McSwains reply. There is a "Shapes.shx" which I have a copy but it
appears that you are needing a specific shape file from the source.

Unless they happened to rename it for some reason.

Since AutoCAD's font files are SHX, I am assuming it's a font file
that's missing. But there's no reason it couldn't be a shape file, and
I'm certainly not an AC maven who can easily figure this out.

Other than that I haven't a clue.

You can find out if it is a font file by looking at the various STYLE
definitions in the drawing. Also, when the drawing is loaded, it will
tell you which STYLE is having the problem if it is a font file.

I will see if I can figure out how to do this. I know very little about
AutoCAD.
