I'm currently using Cad LT 2007 and need to convert some shape (.SHX) files into my LT drawing.  How can I do this?

This is from my AutoCAD 2009help file, you may want to check your AutoCAD 2007 LT help file to verify this information is correct:[code]Shapes are objects that you use like blocks. First you use
the [CMD]LOAD[/CMD] command to load the compiled shape file containing the shape
definition. Then you use the [CMD]SHAPE[/CMD] command to insert shapes from the file into
your drawing. You can specify the scale and rotation to use for each shape as
you add it.[/code]In your help file, on the Index Tab, type: shape definition filesDoes this help?HAWDesigner2011-01-14 15:20:19

Thanks, but this procedure doesn't work in Cad 2007 LT

How doesn't it work-did you get an error message?
 
Do you know that this is an AutoCAD-compioled .shx file and not an ESRI shapefile? They both have an 'shx' extension. Plain AutoCAD (LT or full)can't read ESRI shx files.
