It means the original .dwg file contains a custom shape of some
sort.....could be text, or could be a line style. If you can't obtain the
.shx file from the author, choose PTMARKS.shx which is a "default" you will
find in the drop down list.

While opening a dwg file, the Open File Dialog window opens and changes the
File Type to Shape File .shx. How can I open this file?
