A guy sent me a file in dxf format but he used draftsight to create it and my corel x5 won't open it . is there a way to open it in x5?

Download Draftsight (it's free), open it and save in an older format .dxf file.

Or ask the guy to resave it using an older version .dxf (Version 12 is generally most comptible)

Note: I'm assuming that Drafsight gives you options for different .dxf versions - most CAD programs do. But I've never used Draftsight.

Yes, Draftsight is just like AutoCAD, only it nags you to upgrade, but you only have to deal with it once or so.
