Thank you, now I'm understanding.
How do I change the width of my cut? I'd like it to be about 3/16" wide.
Thanks again
Frankie

Now that Frankie understands how to clean up his original file and make it "cut ready", he now wants to widen out all of the cut paths from the simple line cuts to some wider closed paths. Here is my response.

You can either manually edit with Design Edge (the long way to do it) or import your file to Inkscape, set your stroke width, and then "Path, Stroke to Path". Then save as dxf R14, import to Design Edge, and do your clean-up. If you go the Inkscape route, I would recommend not setting your stroke width to anything greater than about 1/8".

Your result should look something like this.

Here are some screen shot I created showing the steps I would follow to accomplish Frankie's goal.
