What is a CRD File?
Before we dive into how to open a CRD file in AutoCAD, let’s first understand what exactly a CRD file is. A CRD file is a drawing file created using CorelDRAW, a popular vector graphics editor.
These files typically contain vector-based drawings, shapes, text, and other graphical elements.
Step 1: Launch AutoCAD
To begin opening your CRD file in AutoCAD, you need to launch the AutoCAD application on your computer. Look for the AutoCAD icon on your desktop or search for it in your start menu.
Step 2: Open the File Menu
Once AutoCAD is up and running, locate and click on the “File” menu at the top left corner of the application window. This will open a drop-down menu with various options.
Step 3: Select “Open”
From the “File” drop-down menu, select “Open” to initiate the process of opening your CRD file.
Step 4: Locate Your CRD File

You can browse through different folders by clicking on them or use the search bar to find your file quickly.
Step 5: Choose Your CRD File
Once you have located your CRD file, click on it to select it. You will see the file name appear in the “File name” text box at the bottom of the dialog box.
Step 6: Click “Open”
After selecting your CRD file, click on the “Open” button located at the bottom right corner of the dialog box. AutoCAD will now begin opening your CRD file.
