So I have to change all lines manually to 1 mils, which can be tedious for complex graphics.
Something wrong here, or is this a bug in KiCad?
By the way, I also tried running dxf2idf from PowerShell and from the command prompt. However, that tool just goes in the background and consumes a lot of resources.

Is it mining bitcoins in the background? That seems to be the most common maleware in these times. Converting a few lines should be trivial for any program on any PC less than 30 year old.
Without surprise, Pcbnew has the same problem as with the DXF file exported from Rhino: Line width selection is ignored. This means I have to change line width line by line…
I’m still waiting for KiCad V5.1 to get through Debians package management and am using V5.0.2, but because it works for me seems to confirm that there is no problem with your drawing.
