Not familiar with cad2lathe but just keying off your statement " see's

my polylines as line segments". Maybe try the "Join" command before

exporting your dxf file. I have run across similar issues with cnc

Hotwire Foamcutters coming out of a CAD program. Or, cad2lathe may

have a function to Join or "alignment" maybe, some method of putting

the polylines back together in a continuous closed object.



Another issue might be when you made your drawing and say not using the

Snap functions, the polyline ends have to be right on or very close to

each other to "Join" them.



If no "Join" then maybe "Close" might do it. That rings a bell as well.



Just shooting in the dark.
