Yes, FreeCAD does have a dxf export function, but this is unable to differentiate between hidden lines.

I can define hidden lines as having a different line thickness and/or a different colour, but when exported to dxf these are lost.

They are present in the svg file, but are lost when Inscape converts the file to dxf.

What I can do is split the svg into 2 separate svg files in Inkscape, but this is tedious.

The version of LibreCAD that I was using previously had an import function that imported the files with the line colours intact which allowed me to place them on separate layers so that I could style the hidden linetypes.
