Now, however, when I try to save or export a dwg as a dxf, I can't do it. In some cases I had to get rid of the filled or transparent objects, then it would always convert to DXF and open smoothly in AutoCad. It didn't like filled objects or partially transparent objects, but basically it worked. Then I would open them in AutoCad LT 2005. I intend to 'cheat' a bit by drawing in Corel, then allowing others to open my DXF files in AutoCad, if possible.Īnd here's the odd part: I'm using Corel Version 9.531, and I do recall saving or exporting drawings as DXF files many times before. I find it easy to use Corel Draw, but hard to use AutoCad, and my office typically uses AutoCad. I need a bit of help saving a Corel drawing as a DXF file.
