Need Help Export Flexi to EnRoute and connected lines

I am having trouble with the exporting to EnRoute from Flexi. Flexi has all the lines connected and can undo the Wireframe to fit the coloring. But when I send it to EnRoute, it creates these cut pieces and scattered them in a small mm spot like this:

Is there a way to export the file with all the lines connected? If not, then does EnRoute have a tool used to connect lines like what Flexi has Close Path or Break Path feature?

There is a 'cleanup' option in enroute that connects all these lines, I think it's under the 'draw' file menu.

You either have duplicate lines on top of each other or you need to increase the tolerance in the auto cleanup on import settings,

If you increase the 'tolerance' section, it should attach the nodes. Basically, dxf files are just lines, not necessarily in sequence. This tool will connect any two points that are within the tolerance amount.

Are you using the 'send to Enroute' button on the Flexi header or are you trying to export a flexi file as an Enroute file? Occasionally we have issues trying to import files into Enroute. Sometimes you have to fix that stuff in Flexi first then send it to Enroute. Also as astro8 posted check for duplicate shapes on top of each other. Our Enroute does some weird stuff like creating loops when you have multiple shapes.

I am sending it by the EnRoute Icon on Flexi.

I have figured out how to connect them. Select the entire exported lines that were from Flexi. Go to Transform Tab, then go to Contour Operations, then click Merge Selection. Can also right click the selection and click Merge Selection.

It can be done automatically on import or paste or whatever you send from Flexi by going into:
Setup/Preferences/General + Merge Contours and + Auto cleanup tabs and ticking the boxes on Import and Paste
