- 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.
- Vector graphics format designed to support the needs of many graphics applications; originally used for clip art libraries, but newer revisions (based on the ISO/IEC 8632 standard) are now commonly used for CAD drawings.
