Circuitworks workaround? exporting board outlines to PADS

I'm looking for an easier way to export a board outline to PADS, without upgrading to Circuitworks.  The method I currently use is very cumbersome:

  • export a DXF of the board outline
  • open it in DWG Editor
  • create PADS-specific layers (e.g. BOARD_OUTLINE_00) in DGW Editor
  • add entities to the layers in DWG Editor
  • finally (and this is the pain-in-the-neck part) I have to manually "join" each line/arc to its neighbor at the vertices.

Does anyone know of a better way?  Can I join all of the sketch entities into one before I export to DXF?  (In Pro/E there was a feature called "composite curve" that would copy existing curves and join them as one).
