Hi,

I have been designing some 2D vector images in Adobe Illustrator Cs4. When I save these as .dxf and open in autocad the quality is terrible and nowhere near the same as what i designed (there will be curves in straight lines and other imperfections that I did not design)

Does anyone know why The file changes like this when its saved as a .dxf in illustrator? Its terribly annoying because I send these off to a company to cut into steel and the designs they open in CAD are different.

Thanks in advance!
