Opening .cdr in inkscape on Mac OS X Mavericks

Question

I am trying to open a .cdr file which I got from thingiverse (a RaspBerry Pi case). I've installed Uniconverter using the steps in the answer by the user lauhub provided here: How to install Uniconvertor (command-line app) on Mac OS 10.7.2 (Lion)?

But when I try to open the .cdr file I get this error:

UniConvertor failed:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/uniconvertor", line 13, in uniconv_run() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/uniconvertor/init.py", line 100, in uniconv_run saver(doc, output_file) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/filters/init.py", line 212, in call module.save(document, file, filename, options) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/filters/export/svgsaver.py", line 339, in save saver.Save() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sk1libs/filters/export/svgsaver.py", line 295, in Save left, bottom, right, top = self.document.PageRect() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'PageRect'

Does anyone know what I did wrong?

If you are referring to a .cdr file as a CorelDRAW Image File then perhaps you will be able to open it with Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape, a free application that lets you primarily edit vector graphics. Give that a shot and let me know how that works out for you.
