- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
