Vector File Export Problem!!

I have two problems.

We print, laminate, and contour cut vehicle graphics and decals.

We have been having problems with Draw vector exports for quite some time and I'm tired of it!

When I export a vector PDF (and sometimes EPS) files, Draw fails to include many small straight lines, usually in various text characters (see attached photo).

It happens with any font.

I contour cut with Summa Cutter Control or Winplot.

I prefer Cutter Control and WinPlot will not cut EPS files.

When my plotter does not cut all of these small lines, I have to go back as examine every decal and hand cut the little pieces that were missed.

This is time consuming and maddening and when I miss one, the vinyl tears during weeding. 

The other problem I have is whenever I drag out a guideline onto the desktop, Draw crashes!

Does anybody have similar experiences and/or fixes for these problems.

I've been using Draw for 18 years and I'm too old to learn Illustrator!!

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks again,

Mike
