You cannot [unless it is a new feature]- I always save files as .ai files before importing, so then either program will open it. I was in the same situation
a couple years ago and found that LBurn is so far ahead that I haven't opened it in a year or so.

If you are creating in RDWorks, more power to you. It is so limited it's not funny. The new version is still in process, not even a beta yet. They haven't even said if they are going to keep the name or give it a new one.

It may be advantageous to discuss with the Author of the LIGHTBURN software - he may be able to write a script to translate an RDL file in to LIGHTBURN.
