@dalbandit,

1. Click File menu > Open.
2. In the Select File dialog box, in the Files of type box, select DXF (*.dxf).
3. Find and select the DXF file you want to import, or enter the name of the DXF file at File Name.
4. Click Open.

done that but it doesnt show nothing, just like opening a new drawing,

theres data in the file because there memory is at 312 kb  and the pdf version has the drawings but when i load them into cad i cant modifiy any thing

[dalbandit]

@dalbandit Zoom>Extents and panning around usually brings file content into view for all of us: try that.

doesnt let me attach the file

[dalbandit]

unfortunally im quite show that there is'nt any content on the page

@dalbandit ZIP the file, come to the site, to share it.

If it is empty, then you received an empty DXF file, not much you can do about it sadly as the recipient. Reach our to the file sender and you both explore other options. You can also use web browsers all over the web to verify content too https://www.google.com/search?q=free+dxf+file+viewer

Take a look

just need to look at AutoCAD's command prompt & you'll see why this dxf is no good:

Hi,

Tell the creator that the file is corrupt,

(content if the first and last line, and if i am rifght - also the file encoding is unusual)

I guess the used program, which saves or exported the file, works wrongly.

Fixed file attached.
