As you seem to work with DXF, there is a simple solution.
You only have to put the sPatch plugins in a folder called
"export plugins" under Hamapatch main folder.
When you want to export your object select from the menu:
File -> sPatch plugin -> DXF or Layered DXF (wolfie).
When it exports, it give you options for a higher subdivision
level than the Hamapatch in-built exporter.
You can get the sPatch plugins (and more utilities) here:

Hope this helps.
Bye
