Thanks Cirilo, opening the dxf generated by FreeCAD with LibreCAD and then exporting to DXF from LibreCAD worked.
This screenshot is the result of the StepUp script: http://www.paltatech.com/files/DXF_workaround.png Maurice, I managed to fuse the objects using part->union. After the fusion the colors get messed up, but I discovered that you can edit each face color to fix them with right click->set colors, so I'm doing it that way for now. Now I only have to discover why the connector and pins are rotated.
