    Why can i not import a DXF file exported from Coreldraw 11 as a 2002 Autocad
    DXF

    Solidworks will only accept a DXF file exported as Autocad R11

    I suspect a Coreldraw export problem. I import dxf's saved as AutoCad
    2000 format all the time without problem.

    Why can i not import a DXF file exported from Coreldraw 11 as a 2002 Autocad
    Drag the DXF file into notepad
    look at the first few lines; if they have the following values

    0
    SECTION
    2
    ENTITIES


    then the dxf contains only bare-bones geometry, not everything that
    may be needed to (re)create a drawing.
