What? You want to view your data outside of IDL? But IDL *is*
v-i-s-u-a-l-i-z-a-t-i-o-n. Very strange...

This might not be too helpful but if you're not looking to do this in
production you might be able to export to VRML and use this tool to
convert to DXF:

Never used it, know nothing about it, but maybe it will work for you.
It doesn't advertise the fact that it can output to DXF but that feature
is covered in the docs:
