You will need to request the SHX file from the other company. Then save it into your FONTS folder.

This is not a font, but rather a shape file. If you do not acquire the correct shape file from the drawing author, then you are going to be missing some objects in the drawing.

What a great attitude.

A little late, but here it is if you need it.

To clarify, it is indeed a complex linetype Shapefile.

Hi! I'm a novice user of Auto CAD and I experienced this same problem too. I would like to now where should I put this file?

Thank you so much.

You can always set up a substitute that will effectively replace this when you open the drawing.

Not with a shape file, you can't.

Unless you copy an existing shape file and rename it. But then the shapes (if they exist in the copied file) will not be the right ones.
