I have received a few drawings for clients, and after I have converted the drawing to our standards, their .shx file is still being prompted for. Is there a way to purge the .shx file out of the drawing???
Just ran into this today with some drwaings I had. BEWARE that this lsp routine clears "ALL" unreferenced shx from the drawings. I was looking for a lsp to do batch removal...but no luck yet.
******** from acad site*******
To Erase shapes and purge references to unavailable shape (SHX) files
Every time you open a drawing that references shape files that are not on your system, a dialog box is displayed and you are prompted ...
Thanks Guys..
I was so impressed with the lsp removing the shx from my own drawings that I put it in my startup appload and created an Icon for it and put it on a toolbar. Now when a drawing comes up looking I just cancel the shx search, continue to open the drawing & hit the icon and ZZZapp !!! GONE. re-save the drawing and continue.
