I was able to achieve success editing the original posted dxf file with LightBurn, exporting as dxf, and importing to SheetCam. I tried several different combinations of operations in LightBurn. These included combinations of Close selected paths with tolerance, auto join selected shapes, and Auto group. I will need to go back and try to recreate the exact order I applied these tools in. In any case, I was able to get a usable file.

I went back to take a look and here is how I edited the original dxf file using LightBurn to produce a result that will work with SheetCam.

I was going to post the actual LightBurn file, but apparently this site does not support the .lbrn2 file type. So here is the download link to my file.
Hover your mouse pointer over the window below and click on the pop-out button.

Thanks Tom! It was trial and error until I got it right, but now it's nice to have it documented for future reference.

Have fun!!
