- Description
- The SHX file format is associated with AutoCAD, a design and drafting software application developed by Autodesk. An SHX file is an AutoCAD Compiled Shape File, which contains compiled shape or font data. These files are used to store shapes, fonts, and symbol definitions that can be imported into AutoCAD drawings. SHX files allow users to include complex shapes and textual styles within their designs without having to redraw or redefine them each time.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
