Annoying message "deltalt.shx" - how to fix this?

MarcoW · 2nd Nov 2009, 11:53 am

I searched before but can't find the solution. See the image for the problem.

What I have done is to copy a *.shx file and renamed it to deltalt.shx. That did not work...

Anyone with a solution to prevent AutoCad 2007 from giving this error? (I know it's not an error ...)

Try option #2 as mentioned here. Maybe it will work.

Hi Remark,

Yes it worked! Thank you for the reply.

I remember being to that section before but did not get result...
Maybe I did something wrong somehow...

But I will give the other machines over here the same alternative font.
Thanks again.

MarcoW:

It was just a lucky guess on my part. Although I've probably recommended the fix a half-dozen times I always have to rack my mind finding it. Glad it worked.

%$%#^...

I have tried another drawing wich has the deltalt.shx message....
Allthough it worked in the first drawing, this drawing keeps asking for the desired file.

I checked the fontalt sysvariable, it is set to isocp.shx.

What is going on?

Isolated (different) fonts are not be recognized in separate drawings?

MarcoW · 2nd Nov 2009, 09:24 pm

I do not know what you mean...

It appears that in two different drawings you're seeing the same error message with two different fonts. Right?

No, the same font...
Sorry for late reaction, kinda busy nowadaus with projects.

Gotcha. Same font appears to be missing in both drawings.

What is the source of the drawing?
