In regards to user experiencing the issue: "One or more SHX files are missing" whenever the user opens a ".DWG" file. User has already tried uninstall and re-install AutoCAD, updating windows, using another font type in AutoCAD. replacing missing font, and issue still persist. Need issue to be resolved ASAP. Thank you.
Does this message occur on all .DWG files when opening or only on specific .DWG files?
If only on specific .DWG files, then it's a .DWG problem and not an AutoCAD program problem.
Uninstalling & Reinstalling AutoCAD does not fix this issue.
Is there any additional information on the message like the name of the SHX files that are missing?
Could you share an example?
@pendean @paullimapa Please see @sergio_salvadorE6JV5 comment. I posted this issue on his behalf. Thank you.
This confirms your AutoCAD program is not the problem.
Found this other thread where someone created a fence.shx
You can try this:
Download fence.zip from that thread , unzip & rename fence.shx to Chain-link-fence.shx and save it to your AutoCAD profile's Support File Search Path location ie.: C:\Users\windows-login-profile\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20##\R##.#\enu\support
It may graphically look different but may prevent the message from re-appearing every time you open those problem .DWG files
Thanks for your support.
I will test it out and come back to share feedback.
