AutoCAD wont open DXF file from Solidworks+Exactflat add-on software

I'm using a software called Exactflat to create drawings of fabric pattern. This software works within Solidworks. When I export, I do so as a Standard DXF. When I go to open in AutoCAD, it tells me to press enter to continue, my file never opens, and it takes me back to the Start screen. Can anyone provide some advice?

Check your exported version for Autocad.

The problem in the DXF file resides with the application(s) that create it: there is literally nothing you can do about it in AutoCAD. Sorry. Ask in those software support areas for help creating AutoCAD-True DXF files, they might have tips you missed.

If you like to know what is wrong with the dxf, share a sample.

 

But there is no setting in Autocad for corrupt data from another software.
