Can't get the RDWorks to read a DXF file correctly. Using version 8.01.11. Should I change to another version and if so where do I find it. The DXF file looks fine in Adobe Illustrator but garbage in RDWorks. I can learn their drawing program if needed but have used Visual CADD for years. Also could buy Corel Draw if needed but don't know which version. Also have FreeCAD and it exports DXF but not sure where the error is.

Maybe need new version but where do I find it?

Just don't know what to do now. Did email Russ and hope he will get back to me.

Welcome Jay- I always us .ai files with no problem, occasionally .dfx if I want to retain color info and have not had a problem. I use RDw .19. Gene

Here are some download sites- viewtopic.php?f=107&t=3485

Be aware that the software is often buggy and some versions will not necessarily open other versions.
