I normally use PoseRay to convert OBJ files to mesh2 as Poser does not use UV
mapping with DXF files.
I checked by exporting a DXF mesh and loading into PoseRay then exporting it
from the Pov Ray Output tab. The resulting geometry file was a mesh2.

There are fairly good instructions in the PoseRay help file.

3DWin from http://www.tb-software.com/ created mesh2 but it may not be supported
now. Rheingold3D from the same site should do the job too. I have not used 3DWin
for a few years as I found PoseRay to give better results.

If you have any more questions please ask.
