I must be doing something wrong then, cause I cannot get to the table in a size I can see.

It seems to open fine in CorelDraw X6. There's a grid in green and a rectangular shape just below it.

I got it, I used the mouse co ordinates from the table, then opened the drg, it was 30 meters or 90ft away from the table. kept moving the drg. in the direction of table co ordinate until table came into view.

Next time this happens, select the object, select "move"(quick key is M in designedge) click the object, select zoom to table(F7 is quick key in designedge) and it will move the object to the table......This is very handy...I get files drawn by customers that are out in no-mans land all of the time
