try opening it up in youre program,

then save as dxf . it might work

who ever made it might have made it in another format.

Contact tech service at ProNest (Cam Solutions, a division of Hypertherm) and email the file to them.....they will be happy to help you with it.

Another possible easy fix, open the file in your cad and "save as" an older version. The software you cannot open it with may need on older dated version of the DXF in order to recognize it
