I am receiving drawings from my co-workers whereby the width of certain components is drawn by them modifying the line width. This is fine for their purposes, however, I have to import these drawings into another software package as DXF files and since it does NOT appear that DXF transfers the line width I am becoming stuck!

 

I know that one answer would be to ask my co-workers to draw the width as a polyline rectangle, but I thought that I would firstly ask: Is there a way of converting line width data into a polyline and indeed do DXF files not transfer the line width of say a .dwg file.
