Just to let all know, RealDWG does support Shape Files.
By default, the RealDWG SDK comes with a Fonts folder that contains a standard set of compiled SHX files which you can deploy with your RealDWG app.
Just make sure that your HostApplicationServices::FindFile() knows to search where you have your SHX files deployed. That way, when the DWG file is read the SHX files will be resolved.
