circles exported as DXF appear as faceted holes/line segments

I've read through many similar questions here, but haven't nailed this down yet. The specifics:
I'm working with a file provided by a graphic designer. It's essentially a rectangle with many, many holes. The file was created in Illustrator, exported as .DXF, and sent to me. When I open it in AutoCAD or Sketchup, the holes render as faceted circles- hundreds of line segments in AutoCAD, dozens in Sketchup. When I open the same file in Fusion, the holes appear to be true round circles (or two half semi circles, but smooth).
Great!
BUT- When I save the fusion file, export as a new .DXF, and send to the laser cutting company, it shows as very low res "circles"- less than 20 line segments.
Does anyone know how I can get around this? The laser software gives a big "hell no" to a circle with hundreds of tiny line segments, so I need to figure out how to preserve the circles as true circles in one of their (laser company) accepted formats, ideally .DXF.
Thanks for any and all help here!
