Why is this happening? I'm trying to import the DXF into CAD software and it's not working well because of these extra outlines. I see none of these lines within my drawing. I viewed the drawing in outline mode and nothing. I had drawn the image using the curvature tool with fill set to transparent and set the width to 0.96mm. I overlapped all of the strokes and when done I expanded all of them and then hit divide in pathfinders. I deleted the overlapped bits I didnt want and when done I hit trim and then merge in pathfinders. It looks fine, but when I export, as DXF or SVG, im getting all of these extra outlines that are super close to the the actual outline? I dont know what's going on. It's seems like it would be such as simple thing im trying to do.
I did a simple test with one stroke over the other, then expanded, divided, deleted a portion, then trimmed, and merged and it worked fine. I dont know why it's doing it with one but not the other.
I attached 4 images: Two are of AI in outline mode and the other two are a close up of an SVG and a DXF.
