Importing dxf files

Please can you help.
I am new to QuickCam 2D Design and I have tried exporting a vector image from Corel Draw X5 into QuickCam. My first attempts, Corel exported as 2008 Autocad dxf file. When importing I could see nothing of the file, even in the preview window.
However, when exporting as a Autocad 2000 dxf file, I got a picture in the preview panel of QuickCam, but nothing was imported.

Sometimes .dxf files can come in really tiny, or really huge so the vectors might be there - you just can't see them.
Try pressing CTRL-A to see if anything is selected

You can try COPY and PASTE the design from Corel into QuickCAM or try exporting as .wmf .emf or .eps files - QuickCAM is also able to import these

Hi
Many thanks the .eps file seemed to work the best.
