Missing Shape linetype

I created a linetype with a Shape, the problem is that the Shape file is saved on my computer. When I send the cad file to another computer, the computer doesn't have that shape file so the linetype cannot be displayed. I looked at a cad file of the linetype library and saw that the shape was fixed to the file (as shown). Please tell me how to permanently attach the shape to the cad file so that when transferring the file the shape is not lost

Unfortunately, you cannot. If you use a custom shape file to create your complex linetype, then the shape file has to be transferred with the dwg. You can read more about this on this thread:

Use eTransmit and it will gather all files necessary for the drawing.
