Topic: shp file not compiling

[snownut2]

Does anyone have any ideas on why this shp file will not compile properly, this is the only shape in the file.

Code: [Select]

 
*132,5,STONE
13,(3,0,-42),(0,-2,-31),(-3,0,-42),(0,2,-31),(0,0),0

Thanks,

Bruce

Thank you very much,  how did you arrive at the number 16 for the bytes column?

I don't seem to understand that.

I've tried to compile your update and I get the following message "Expected '*n,len,name' shape header"

Thanks,


Bruce

efernal,

Thank you very much, the acad documentation is not real clear in this area.  I was amazed that the shx file gave me results I was looking for.
