Option to auto Ignore Shape File

When we open an AutoCAD file, we are being prompt to select a shape file.

Most of the time this can be ignore.

Hi, this setting is available in a dmsset variable:

SHOWMISSINGSHAPES

Controls how integrated AutoCAD handles missing SHX files:

If set to 1 (default), and you open a document with one or more missing SHX file, a dialog opens, prompting you to select a font to use in place of the missing SHX file.
If set to 0, and you open a document with one or more missing SHX file, the missing SHX files are simply ignored. AutoCAD neither prompts you to select another font, nor does it attempt any font substitution of its own.
