Are you using AME? If so, the rules for AME models are different than
for AutoCAD entities – you do NOT unify their normals upon import. As
for other AutoCAD entities the variations vary for the variuos entity
types and can get somewhat involved. What entity types are you
exporting?
The Counter-Clockwise rule for face building is "correct" but is only
relevant for isolated faces. For those that build a mesh it is MUCH
more important for EACH to share two vertices with the adjacent face
– only then will faces unify correctly.
Also, forget the 16-place DXF export. Binary is smaller, quicker, and
just as accurate.
