Does SW support this?
If not, when?
Currently, I have to reload the DXF in Autocad just for joining the segments.
Using a laser or plasma cutter these days, is one of the most popular methods of construction. Why wouldn't SW have this feature?

In AC you just highlight the whole DXF (ctl A) then click on the "join lines" in the Modify pulldown. Then resave the DXF.
When you first load the SW generated DXF, put your cursor on what appears to be a continuous line. It probably is not. If the entire line does not highlight, then do the above and try it again.
I use Torchmate CAD to path my projects that we make on a plasma cutter. I have to do this every time. I don't have an AC license on the same machine I have SW on nor on the machine I have Torchmate CAD so it is always an extra step.

Thanks for the info!

Greg,
I have always wondered the same thing. It hard on the laser when you have segments that get down into the .001 lengths. You mentioned you use autocad to join them. Does it join all the segments into one continuous profile or just make them longer segments? I don't use or have autocad, however, I know somebody that does. How do you go about "joining" them in autocad?
Thanks,
Bob
