Fence linetype missing circles and squares

I've been adding to and dragging my own custom linetype file from version to version for years. With the newest upgrade, my fence linetypes are missing the circles and squares. All other similar custom linetypes I've used recently, such as those with letters, show just fine. 

I saw several related posts referring to LTYPESHP.SHX as being a potential cause, but I'm not familiar with what it does for shape linetypes. 

 

This is from my linetype file:
;; Complex linetypes have been added to this file.
;; These linetypes were defined in LTYPESHP.LIN in
;; Release 13, and are incorporated in ACAD.LIN in
;; Release 14.
;;
;; These linetype definitions use LTYPESHP.SHX.
;;
*FENCELINE1,Fenceline circle ----0-----0----0-----0----0-----0--
A,.25,-.1,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1
*FENCELINE2,Fenceline square ----[]-----[]----[]-----[]----[]---
A,.25,-.1,[BOX,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1

It is AutoCAD's file containing the compiled Shape definitions for AutoCAD's non-continuous linetypes that include Shapes, and those Shapes contained in that file include CIRC1 and BOX that are used in the FENCELINE1 and FENCELINE2 linetypes.  If you don't have that file, you won't get those Shapes in those linetypes.

Thanks Kent.

Apparently the file exists on my computer. I assume it's not being loaded?

Anyone know how I would get this file to load at startup?

Thanks Pendean, 

Added LTYPESHP.SHX to my custom folder and it works. I assume LTYPESHP.SHX is a legacy file and in 2023 AutoCAD decided not to include it? Never encountered this before.
