ISO3098B.SHX not loading in AutoCAD 2017

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 00:08:26 GMT

I recently updated to AutoCAD 2017 and now every time i open a drawing it i get about 8 command messages

"Substituting [simplex.shx] for [ISO3098B.shx]."

I have saved it into my fonts folder and it is the exact same file that has worked for years and currently works on a computer with 2014.

One of the guys here had a work around for 2016 where they used isocp.shx with a different width however when i try to do this I have to change the text styles every time i open a drawing and that is just unworkable.

Does any one know how i can get either the ISO3098B to work or to get the Text Styles to change on all drawings i open?

Hi,

can you please check your support pathes in the options Dialog.

The folder where you save your shx file must be in the support pathes.

At the commandline in 2017 enter this exactly as shown:

(findfile "simplex.shx")

AutoCAD will tell you where that font is installed. Move all of your special fonts to that same folder. Restart AutoCAD. Your issue will go away.
