HELV.SHX - Helvetica Font?

[Cesar Sanjose]

Hi!
I'm trying to read an Autocad 12/DOS drawing in
Autocad 12/Windows. It is looking for a file

HELV.SHX

Is this Helvetica font? Where can I find this file,
in order for me to access this drawing?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's not a fix, but should help you open the file. Copy one of the
other fonts you have available to the name HELV.shx. This way the file
will open and the text show up. Of course, the text will have the
characteristics of the font used, but this should help you open the file
until you can get the HELV.shx font file.

Hope this helps.

I am not sure whether it is the Helvetica font . However to access the font file
you can use the following method of copying the simplex.shx to HELV.shx
so that the drawing contents are not lost. Then change the font according to the
type you want.

copy simplex.shx helv.shx

The drawing will now be opened with all the datas in the Helv.shx font file also.

Hope this helps.
