Shape

Allows you to insert shapes from a compiled shape file (.SHX) into your drawing. Shapes are objects that you define for use as drawing symbols and text fonts. You can specify the scale and rotation to use for each shape as you add it. To use shape files, you first use the Load command to load the compiled shape file that defines the shape. Then you use the Shape command.
