Hi,
Yes, you can use shape files (.SHX) in AutoCAD for Mac the same way as in Windows version.
Command LOAD - loads shape file to current drawing, then you can use SHAPE command to insert shapes from loaded .SHX file to the drawing.

I've tested LOAD and SHAPE command with one of my old .SHX files (they are even from DOS version of AutoCAD) and everything works fine with it.
Where did you get yours shape files?
Could you post it here?

Qucik question - are these shape files, as in AutoCAD symbols and fonts; or shape files, as generated by Map3D and other mapping/GIS-type applications?
Ah - bingo. Plain AutoCAD can't do anything with those, Win *or* Mac.
Which, would leave someone, such as myself, asking if the plain version of autocad can't which version of autocad can?
