Answer
It sounds like you have no backup of this important file, shame on you sir!

Perhaps your drawing layer (normally Layer 1) has been turned off. You did not say which version you are using, so my answer refers to CorelDraw X4. Open the Object Manager with Window/Dockers/Object Manager. At the top are three square buttons: only the first one should be pressed down.

Most or all of your objects will be under the layer called Layer 1 and if they are still present in CorelDraw's database you will see them in a long list. To the left of the line which says Layer 1 are some symbols. One of these symbols is an eye. Click the eye to close it (and Layer 1 will vanish). Click the eye again to open it (and Layer 1 will appear again).

I hope this solves your problem - please let me know!

My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!

University educated and over 2 decades of hands-on experience

My first printer was a Star LC10 Colour and I once paid £1745 for an HP Laserjet III.
