    HI ALL!!!!

    Another question................ (not the last I am sure...LOL)

    Does anyone have a clue what these things are for? and if a Drawing has them attached to them is there a way to delete them forever and not prompt you to select a shape file when you open the .dwg ?

    Thanks in advance!!!!!

    It could be a shape that was used to create a custom linetype or something like that. If so, it should have been included when the drawing was sent.

    Should be the "operative" word................NOPER.. nothing..............

    so since I didn't get it.. ( I don't really want it....) I REALLY want to get rid of it............

    is there a way to make CAD Not prompt me for a shape file that I do not have , and still do not want? LOL....

    but seriously, is there?

    I hate shape files! I have Never Ever used them.. We should take a poll , I am curious how many people actually use Shape files..........*** But that requires me to know how to make a poll ..........hmmmmmmmm

    Does the drawing have an unpurgeable linetype that's not in use?
