If it is a cover, maybe it would be better to supply it separately direct from Illustrator.

I find situations like this not infrequently. If you have a method I'm interested.

Is this when you initially create the star, or subsequently?
It only uses the arrow keys when you initially create the star. If you want to edit it after, use the slider in the transform panel:

Is it text, or vector shapes, or an image?
Assuming it's something editable in Illustrator, use the Shear tool.

Sounds like the other software is importing the JPEG as 72 PPI rather than 300?

The official suggestion by the retailer for this machine is to export vector as a PNG, import that PNG into a program called Vector Magic, go through the steps of turning it into a vector (basically a robust Image Trace) and then import that into AI and export as Illustrator 8.

I'm afraid this is nonsensical advice. Lost in translation perhaps?

Are you referring to settings in the CAD software?
By @scolemans
There are two different settings for compound paths in Illustrator based on different 'rules', found in the attribues panel:
I believe Monika's thinking is that the software may support one of these rules but not the other. Worth a try.

An object with a cutout/counter is a compound path by definition in Illustrator. Asking for a cutout without making a compound path is a bit like asking for a square circle.
Does the software have any documentation you can refer to as to how it handles compound paths?

If you can't or won't carry out troubleshooting steps, there may be no way of telling whether the issue is local to your machine or not.

Since text on a path doesn't export to SVG as a textPath element either, I would guess Illustrator doesn't support it.

It's created with one or more raster effects, which are affected by the Document Raster Effects PPI setting (under the Effect menu).
If you scale objects down, the PPI stays the same, so pixels get larger relative to the object's size.
