Vertex Linetypes

Vertex applications have line types that AutoCad does not recognize. Definition files vertexltypes.shp and vertexltypes.shx have been created for Vertex line types. These files contain the Vertex line definitions in a format that AutoCad can read. The files are in the system/setup folder. When you export a Vertex drawing with two-dimensional lines, deliver the vertexltypes.shx file along with the created DWG file to your customer or business partner, so they can view the lines as they were in the Vertex application. Converting one-dimensional lines (dash lines) has been improved so that they are directly transferred to the DWG file without the vertexltypes.shx file.
