    Default missing shape files

    When I open old drawing that was submitted by vendors, even some new ones, the drawings asks for a shape file .shx. How can I fix this so I can get rid of this prompt? Everytime we try to batchplot drawings, it gets cancelled because some drawings asks for this missing files. Even if it's not to fix the batch plot problem, it's still irritating. Help please.
