Hello all,
I have a need to import Adobe Illustrator files into the Fusion software. I have been able to get them in using the svg function but the scale is enormous.
1. Are SVG file sthe best way to get Illustrator files in?
2. How can I have them come in at the correct sizing?

Hi
For now is the only way that is possivel to bring data from illustrator
the best way is work in px/px, you can make a square 100px by 100px and save to SVG that will recorspond to the unit size.

You may be able to use the Scale command from the Modify drop down menu in the Model work space to select a sketch from the browser to scale (after inserting SVG). I hope that helps.
Thanks,
When you insert a SVG file in to the scene you will see a bounding box appear for moving and scaling the SVG file to the size you want before you commit to the insert by clicking on Stop Sketch.
Hope that helps.

Hello!
Im trying to import some .ai drawinbg into Fusdion 360. Have tried .dxf and .svg exports from latest version of Illustrator but no luck getting a workable drawing. The .dxf has incomplete lines and unconnected points and the .svg has a "bad lexical cast" (pls see respective attachments)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Brian
Hi bpsikes1
I think you ned to Join the point paths in Illustrator, overlapping the points of the lines. to joint in Illustrator use Ctrl+J (Windows) or Cmd+J (Mac). our Selection tool to select the open paths and click Object > Path > Join

I solved my own problem.
The fault was mine. I had taken a PS file and directly opened in in Illustrator, then tried to save as .svg. The biggest problem was that I had so many different layers on top of each other. In the end I cleaned up my project in PS, merged all of the all of the layers, pressed command (on a Mac) and selected the layer thumbnail to create and outlines of the features, then selected the Paths tabs, and created a path. Next I copied the path, then open Illustrator and pasted. Then in Illustrator I selected Object/ Artboard/ Fit to Artwork Bonds. Then did a 'save as' whatever_name.svg to my desktop. From there it was easy to bring the .svg into Fusion and was very easy to see, place and scale.
Hope this helps.
Same problem for me, same solution. Creating a single path in Illustrator made all the difference
When I need to bring an illustrator drawing in from Adobe Illustrator to Fusion 360
This is how I do it
In Illustrator
Prep drawing scale it 1:1 size in mm
Join Paths (if required)
remove strokes and fills
Set artboard to exact size of drawing
centre drawing in artboard
Save as SVG file
In Fusion 360
Units in MM
Select face of object
Insert SVG
Set SVG Scalling to 1.3334
This works for me
I find it easier actually using DXF.
Create in illustrator 1:1 in mm
Join Paths (if required)
Set artboard to exact size of drawing
centre drawing in artboard
Export as DXF keep scale 1 and 1 in the options
In Fusion
Insert DXF
Place and then make sure you change units to mm.
Presto
You just saved me from certain suicide! My svg inserts into fusion would always have line breaks and I was hunting them down and manually patching them. It would take hours on large graphics.
I tried your dxf method, 1:1 etc. Perfect! No breaks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Mine seems to work at 1.33752 at least in the design i'm working on now. Measured a known sized object and did the percentage math. In this case a 23" entity imported as 17.196"
