The scale is displayed in Estlcam, but the dimensions are not

Hello,


For my construction, which turns my CNC milling machine into a plotter, I created a drawing in which the scale and dimensions are displayed and exported it as a .dxf file.
When I open it in Estlcam, the program I use to create the GCode, the scale is displayed, but not the dimensions.
Someone told me that this is because they are objects, but they should be paths.
Is there a way to export them as paths?

As I exported it in Onshape:

As I opened it in Estlcam:

Massstab aber nicht die Masse.JPG

Kind regards

Proape

    When I export as .svg instead of .dxf Estlcam recognises the dimensions. But the result was 10 times to big. What did I wrong?

    May Onshape write HPGL?
