.dxf imports into sketch but will not open says unable to open. I can open in notepad just fine and it imports into sketch but unable to open. Any suggestions?

The DXF/DWG imported with the following error:

- Could not open file.

Gonna be something easy, but can't get past.

Attached is the dwf file - has a .txt extension so I could upload into forum. It has a .dwf ext when imported into sketch

    yeah, our dxf viewer could not open it, saying "Something went wrong. It was not possible to load your drawing." so I suspect something went wrong.

    Sorry, that sounded facetious but your dxf file must be malformed somehow.
