I am using pstoedit as a part of a shell script to convert svg to dxf.

When I use pstoedit -psarg '-dNOSAFER' -dt -f 'dxf: -mm' "${epsfile}" "${dxffile}" in script, the result is like the picture below.

dxf

But when i use pstoedit -psarg '-dNOSAFER' -dt -f 'dxf_14: -mm' "${epsfile}" "${dxffile}" the result is like the picture below.

dxf_14

See the difference? dxf gives complete lines, but dxf_14 gives small lines not connected. I read pstohedit -help and it mentions to use dxf_14 because it's newer, but I can't if it's going to produce results like this.

I also see a bunch of options specific to dxf_14, but I'm not sure what to use. Can anyone guide me on what switches to use for dxf_14 to get desired result, like the first picture above?

PS. I'm using Inkscape to create svg and then the script converts svg to eps using inkscape cli and the pstoedit is used to convert eps to dxf, if it helps.

PS2. pstoedit version is pstoedit: version 3.74 / DLL interface 108 (built: Oct 31 2019 - release build - g++ 9.2.0 - 64-bit)
