    Unhappy Error when loading custom linetype - Error reading shape file

    Hello all,

    I don't know what happened with my custom linetype, but it is not working anymore.
    When loading AutoCAD, there is a error message, see below.
    "Error reading shape file Z:Autocad setup2006 & upSupportfull
    versionltypeshp.shx
    Substituting [simplex.shx] for [ltypeshp.shx].
    Substituting [simplex.shx] for [ltypeshp.shx]."
    It was working fine until last week.I appreciate any ideas.

    Thanks.

    Jaime

    The problem is that I can not find the custom file associated.
    Know even the complex linetypes from AutoCAD are not loading. I receive a error message every time I try to load them.
    I appreciate your help.

    Cheers,

    Jaime

    Did any folders or drives get moved or remapped (example: the drive you use was changed from R: to T: or something like that)?

    Thumbs up Re: Error when loading custom linetype - Error reading shape file

    Thanks for your help.
    I decided to investigate what happened, and retrieved the shx file from a backup of my customization folder.
    Everything is working fine after I restored the file.
    Thanks for all ideas.

    Cheers,

    Jaime
