I am receiving an "Unrecoverable Error" when attempting to import an AutoCAD dxf into CorelDRAW. This is my first attempt at this action with the new CorelDRAW software.
Is there a procedure or way to correct this?
I am able to import a pdf of the same AutoCAD file but the objects do not seem to respond in CorelDRAW as I was used to with the dxf files in the past. When I experienced this I greatly simplified the file to be imported, a simple rectangle, in an effort to make it work.
The current software is CorelDRAW 2017 and AutoCAD LT 2018 running on a Windows 10 machine, both software packages have been upgraded within the past 6 months.
I had performed the same action using previous versions of the software, AutoCAD LT 2012 and CorelDRAW Graphic Suite12, on the same computer .
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
You could use the ODA file converter to convert your DXF file into an older DXF/DWG version that your version of CorelDRAW can open.

Autodesk has a similar program called DWG TrueView whichs is a viewer that can also save/convert to older dwg/dxf file formats. The ODA file converter is quite a bit smaller download though, so I'd try that first.
Thank you for your suggestion and prompt reply!
