SHAPE|REF

[kennet.sjoberg]

I do have problem with nested, not existing stuff in files from other companies

Attached is an "empty drawing" with no graphic objects, when you open the drawing it is asking for tberg.shx

this is what I found with tblnext "STYLE"
((0 . "STYLE") (2 . "SHAPE|REF") (70 . 17) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 1.0) (50 . 0.0) (71 . 0) (42 . 3.0 ) (3 . "tberg.shx") (4 . ""))
((0 . "STYLE") (2 . "SHAPE|REF") (70 . 17) (40 . 0.0) (41 . 1.0) (50 . 0.0) (71 . 0) (42 . 2.5 ) (3 . "mark.shx" ) (4 . ""))


How do I remove this stuff programmatically, I have a lot of different assoc 3 in many drawings.

: ) Happy Computing !

I would like to know also. I have seen drawings like this before and have always figured it was just a corrupt drawing - but AutoCAD thinks these shapes are being referenced somehow...

I was able to replace the string "tberg.shx" with "" (and "mark.shx" with "") and saved the drawing - and it does not prompt you for these shape files anymore, but the table entries are still there.

I wonder if the missing application, "MagiCAD" has anything to do with this?

Yes, and the bad thing is that AutoCAD accept them.

I do not like that hint, because I have a lot of them "" also in the drawings.

I think MicroStation is involved to. . .


So now is the question : How do we remove this stuff programmatically ?

Can you replace assoc 2 and assoc 70 to ?
(2 . "SHAPE|REF") to (2 . "qqqqqq")
or
(70 . 17 ) to (70 . 0 )

SuperPurge "Shape files" do the job. . . so there must be a solution

anyone ?

Obviously Owen knows the structure there... Maybe you could contact him...
