Failed to open a DXF file but can open it in Ai. Please help!!

Hi, I just saved a DXF file with AutoCAD and when I opened it later it turned out like what this screen capture shows below. There are nothing but a command says "Press ENTER to continue".

Nothing but this.png

But whatever I press ENTER/ESC/SPACE the window will automatically shut off.

 

I tried to open other DXF files and they all work well. I also opened this DXF with Adobe Illustrator CC and it works! I then exported another DXF with Ai and opened in CAD it can be opened but I lost all my layers! 😞

 

I spent the whole afternoon drawing this! I'm sure I saved it well before I closed it. I also saved it frequently as I drew. The file size is 2.9MB which seems quite normal. 

 

Please please help and this is really urgent...I don't want to redo it again and waste time 😞

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi 

Thank you so much for this! I've attached it below...

It's just massive lines if you can successfully open it. I've sent it to two of my friends and they had the same problem like me. 😞

 

Hope to heat good news from you!! Thanks a lot!

I was able to open DXF file with CorelCAD application.

Saved it as DWG and then opened in AutoCAD.

Hi @aksu3368 ,

 

I was able to open your DXF with QCAD app.

Look for DWG in the attachment.
