Unlocking the Mystery of Hzdx.shx: The Backbone of Chinese Drafting in AutoCAD

Converting or editing

• To reuse glyphs outside CAD, convert SHX to TrueType/outline using third-party tools or scripts (results vary).
• To modify shapes, edit the source .shp file (if available) and recompile to .shx using Autodesk’s shp2smp/smp2shp utilities or community tools.

Method 3: The FONTALT System Variable

For advanced users:

1. Type FONTALT in the command line.
2. Enter the name of a substitution Big Font, e.g., hztxt.shx.
3. AutoCAD will automatically replace Hzdx.shx with hztxt.shx silently on every file open.

Pros

• Compact and fast to render in CAD environments.
• Clear at technical scales; predictable line-based appearance.
• Often bundled with legacy CAD libraries — useful for maintaining drawing consistency.
