I use illustrator to design sculptural components. I then export them in a DXF or DWG format to send to a laser cutting outfit that uses CAD to operate their machine. The problem is: what looks like a relatively simple vector drawing on my machine turns into a huge monster "poly line" when opened in their program. It costs me money and time when they have to retranslate it. What's going on?
