I was sent a file 7.5MB .ai (too big to post) by a customer's graphic designer.
When trying to import it into Corel X3 the system locked up and I got the old favorite "not responding". I tried it again, this time using the pdf filter and the same thing.
Just on a hunch, I tried it in Corel 12, and got the message that it was above ai version 9 or above so I had to open it as a pdf. Tried that and it opened nicely. The size is due to one part of it being a bit map as it turns out.
I find it rather odd that a file would open in 12 but not in X3. Anyone else seen this happen?
