Importing line data from Corel into ArcMap

Question

Hi, I have bathymetry and contour lines created in Corel Draw.  I would like to import theminto Arc, and georeference them, instead of importing as a raster and then digitizing them manually.  I had thought I could export it from Corel as a .dwg or .dxf and then import it to Arc, but when I bring it in as either, the file is empty (the attribute table is empty).  I've tried it using just a simple straight line and still creates an empty file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

instead of import as a shapefile,  we can convert the Raster to vector using corel i draw then convert to  dxf format and export the cadd layer to shapefile using Autocadd .

it might be take some time but 100% work.

OK...I've got it in using the To Geodatabase tool.  Unfortunately, the bathymetry lines are distorted...every spot where a node was place in Corel, a dip in the line is made (making the lines look like teeth - see attached photo).

Any idea how to fix that?
