extra lines showing up in SVG export

The SVG import did get a couple of updates, but it's not huge changes.
If you are using the release version, that rules out the issue I
suspected. So it would still need some more investigation where
those extra lines are coming from.

Hi William,
You're welcome to download https://volksswitch.org/index.php/volks-devices/customizable-3d-printable-keyguard-for-grid-based-free-form-and-hybrid-aac-apps-on-tablets/ and parse my code which is Open Source. If you do, let me know and I'll also send you the input file that causes the issue.
I anticipate that it would take about two weeks to create a test harness based on my code. I was able to update my code to work exclusively with 2D-shapes for this feature in two days. The feature runs MUCH faster as well.
Thanks,
Ken

If you're willing to use OpenPythonSCAD I've been working on a tool which outputs DXF files directly:
https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview
Currently re-writing it, but it does line and arcs (which can then be preserved by your CAM tool), and it should be pretty straight-forward to code up primitives which output matching DXFs.
FWIW, I would be quite interested in a test case which breaks the projection() command --- I've used it in the past, and aside from one moderately complex model (a pair of Mitutoyo calipers) it has always worked for me, (and I believe a subsequent update fixed it).

They're huge changes as far as I'm concerned - and for a different reason than the one in this thread. OpenSCAD is currently importing curved edges in SVG images with hundreds of segments, which can't successfully be rendered.

It crashed when I enabled "first layer for SVG/DXF file" (using 2023.11.30) --- I'll have to dig around and see what else I can get installed and working in it.
