loading shx files

[trent59822]

This is an issue I have never come across. I have received a background from a consultant and he has a picture shx font file that is used for some site features. Is it possible to load this shx file into Revit? I can't think of a way. Has anyone encountered this? Thanks.

Don't think it can be done, Trent, unless you can find a tool for converting shx to native autocad geometry.

I believe there is such a thing, where you can explode text out to lines, in the AutoCAD express tools. So you might have to open them up in AutoCAD first prior to bringing them into Revit (something I do anyways)...

Text explode is TXTEXP
