AutoCAD and DXF files

I am trying to import these "3rd Party CAD files" (from 3D Home
Architect; 1997) into AutoCAD 2006 and it keeps coming up with these
errors like:

"FIXT-TRA Block Undefined
Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded."

So, I reverted back to the help files and the Autodesk website and it
said..."When you try to import DXF™ files generated by third-party
CAD applications into AutoCAD® 2000 or later releases of the software,
error messages are displayed...However, if you use AutoCAD® Release
14, the same DXF files import (open) without error."

What I'm trying to say is...Do any of you have the Installation files
for it (I can't find them anywhere)????

Ah I see you run up against the fact that Autocad is not backward
compatible with with it's own file older file formats.

Find a 3rd party DXF to DWG converter.

You only quoted the "issue" portion of the support document.

Did you try the "solution"?
