We have had a rogue shx causing error messages in our drawings for years. With one wave of your magic wand it is gone.

I was so impressed with the lsp removing the shx from my own drawings that I put it in my startup appload and created an Icon for it and put it on a toolbar. Now when a drawing comes up looking I just cancel the shx search, continue to open the drawing & hit the icon and ZZZapp !!! GONE. re-save the drawing and continue.
