Importing DXF in Fusion results are Different than Eagle

osamaolabi — Thu, 20 May 2021 09:28:57 GMT

Hello,

When I try to import a DXF in Fusion360 Electronics as a "20 Dimension" layer, and then import another DXF as a "1 Top" layer, I get bad results in Fusion.

If i do the same importation in Eagle, the importation works as needed. I then can save it as .brd and link it in Fusion360 with no problems. But having not to use Eagle would be a huge time savor.

I could not figure out why this is happening, any help would be really appreciated.

Attached are the DXF Files, Fusion Files and Eagle Files. I also attached photos of how I import DXF's using Eagle and Fusion.

Thank you so much for your help in advance,

Osama

I figured it out. If anyone is having the same problem. It was the DCR rules.
for some reason instead of a warning like Eagle it won't allow you to import such DXF that don't follow the DCR rules.

I changed some parameters to 0 and it worked. Just be careful since now I assume I am on my own.

If anyone knows how to stop fusion from automatically not allowing you to do something in the rules and just add warnings like Eagle, that would be helpful.

Hi @osamaolabi ,

I hope you're doing well. What settings did you change? Do you remember? That information might help us make some adjustments.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hi @jorge_garcia,

Yes I attached the screenshots of what I changed. All the parameters in the pictures have been changed to 0 (this is my personal account so nothing has been changed since I don't use Electronics much).

The parameters in EAGLE are the same as they are in those screenshots, but they show warnings, they do not mess with the importation of the DXF.

Would be nice if it behaved like EAGLE, in a way where I get to see the errors and choose to ignore them or not.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Osama
