You need to 'Region' all the profiles and 'subtract' out the 'regioned' holes and then you will be able to extrude the 0.75" length and then save as a dxf again.

 

Hope this helps

Is this a cnc router I assume as you're machining wood? Can you not set your material thickness i your cad/cam software and then assign a depth of cut to each piece of 2D geometry?

But then I am assuming you're either profiling or cutting at a flat bottomed depth
