Dialog box when opening drawing file - Missing shape (SHX) files
Every time i open a drawing the Select Shape File dialog box comes up. I know this is because I'm missing the shape (SHX) files. I did find on the Autodesk website that i need to erase shape objects that reference unavailable shape files, but the problem is how do i find out which which shape objects i need to erase? Or how can i tell which shape object is being referenced by the shape file that i need to erase?

Hi, welcome to AUGI.
Your drawing contains a text style definition that requires a font file called HBOLD.shx but that file is not where acad can find it on your computer. Either copy that file (HBOLD.shx) to a folder on acad's support path (usually Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD (version number)\Fonts) or use the STYLE command to assign a different font to the style.

Try out the Reference Manager: start menu - all programs - autodesk - autocad 2011 - Reference Manager. You can delete or change the path of multiple files at once.
