    yes only 2d spline .... tried bringing into a vector program...just came in blank...tried in my plotter sign software and came in...although some splines were shifted a bit...exported out of there again as dxf and brought it into my other vector program...

    So a good file to export....

    To check on a translator issue, you can run "arc fit" on your splines and see if that solves the import into the first app...

    If it does, there wont be much to do. It will just be a disparate translator issue.
