I can’t get 2d formats from Shapr3d to open in Autocad. Could it be because a version is too old; AutoCAD 2006?

Try creating the sketch/drawing on the Top view only. Then export. I’ve found this to be the root cause for exporting 2D files for CNC cutting. Anything created on the other planes, results in unusable files.
