Guest Alan Cullen Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 you might want to attach the shape files too Alan aaaaahhhhhh....good thinking......silly me....... Now.....how do I attach a file ?????? Quote
Norts Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 and how would i inset that.lin file into my cad? its 2007 you open up notepad (a windows application), then copy and paste the text from Alan's post to the notepad you have open. save the file as something appropriate, eg drainage.lin into your support path (this is normally C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007\support or something similar). then when Alan uploads his shape files, place these into the same directory. then go back to autocad, enter Linetype, then press Load button, click on File, navigate to the directory you placed the drainage.lin file into. then you should be able to load the linetypes from there.

Guest Alan Cullen Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Unzip this file and place the files with your acad.lin file. Type (findfile "acad.lin") to get the path to your acad.lin file.....then add the code to the end of the file under the ;; User Defined Linetypes section..... akc.zip Quote

Guest Alan Cullen Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Shape files define shapes that you have in your line definition code...... Quote

Q1.....they should be there everytime you open a drawing.....otherwise load them LINETYPE in your drawing template Q2.....A bit trickier......you'll have to look up help for linetype definitions and creating linetypes....

Norts Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Q2.....A bit trickier......you'll have to look up help for linetype definitions and creating linetypes.... If the version being used is a recent-ish version (2007 or newer) then you can create linetypes by using MKLTYPE from Express Tools Quote
ReMark Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 How can I download Shx files ? When you say SHX file are you referring to a font or a shape? Download a SHX file like you would any other type of file found on the Internet. Once you have downloaded the font you'll have to place it in the correct folder for the program you are using it in.
