From su to layout then to dwg file

I have a SketchUp model, and it sends to layout with API, the layout document will export as a dwg file. When opening the dwg file in AutoCAD, all lines breaked into pieces, and curves are composed of lines, not the natural curve in CAD. Is it possible to export dwg with whole lines and natural curves?

Is there a plugin that supports curves?

For 2D toolpaths (CNC router,plasma,laser,water jet…) SketchUp can output true arcs in the .dwg and.dxf formats. Although as a surface modeler SketchUp represents all geometry as lines or collections of lines, for arcs and circles it does store the underlying radius info in the metadata and that can be accessed to export mathematically correct arcs. Basics: Make a 2D shape with either arcs or circles. Place it flat on the XY plane. Set the Camera to Parallel Projection and choose the Top sta…

Thanks for this information, but this is not what I want. Thanks anyway.
