- 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 DXF file is a data file saved in a format developed by Autodesk and used for CAD (computer-aided design) vector image files, such as AutoCAD documents. DXF files are similar to .DWG files, but are more compatible with other programs since they are ASCII (text) based.
