Exporting to .dxf, features that aren't on the sketch show up in the .dxf export

Anonymous — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 19:04:48 GMT

I am trying to export a sketch to .dxf. When I export the sketch, extra features that do not appear on the sketch show up on the .dxf export file. How do I remove these features considering they don't exist on the sketch? Really frustrating.

Hi,

After saving as dxf files so many times I noticed that saving a file as dxf doesn't give you the exact result always

I guess that depends on the sketch itself

Regards

They are sketch points, they are in the fusion sketches fusion just hides them as we don't have a point joining command

@SaeedHamza they are arc, it depends what program opens the dxf for what it shows, think how fusion shows a .DXF

@Anonymous It's not entirely clear which feature you are talking about but I think your problem is you've sketched on a face. When you pick a face to sketch on all features of that face are projected in automatically, the curves are hidden and only show when you mouse over. You have 2 options, turn off Auto Project in options or first create a construction plane on the face, create a sketch using the plane then project.
