    Default Zig-Zag Line Type

    I can’t use some linetypes, even though they have been in ACAD since we chiseled on stones.

    I have drawings that use zig-zag (show up as dots) It shows an error box with a bad definition. (Fence, batting etc. all have bad definitions) I copied ltypeshp.shx from folder in 16 to 17 and it didn’t fix anything.

    The support folder is listed on Working Support File Search Path.

    What else can I do?

    Thank you in advance

    sounds like a missing .shx file

    I have done everything that I could after searching on the web. Could the corrupt .shx be somewhere in the template? I opened a totally empty template, only had layer 0, and was able to load the linetypes with no problem.

    shx files are NOT saved in a template or drawing. so if it works in an new drawing, it's probably not an shx problem. maybe the .lin file got hosed?

    Post a sample dwg, along with your .shx and the .lin file
