Hi, Why can I not import an al file into Corel Draw 2019. Just keeps crashing the program. Is there any settings I need to change?

I used to be able to import .ai files when I had Corel X6 but since i upgrated to 2019 I can't do it. All i get it a thinking curser and then i have to abort because it never gets to the end. So something is making it not finish the process.

Thanks in advance for anyone who could help :)
