Unable to Export DXF

jackofalltradesVU7CH — Sat, 13 Sep 2025 18:13:28 GMT

I've searched the topics and don't see any resolution to my issue.

I have a flat sketch used for PLASMA cutting. It's not extruded. Just a sketch.

By saved version 4 i was able to do a simple EXPORT DXF from the right click options menu successfully.

Now that I've had several edits and final sketch update is on Version-11, the system simply crashes and won't do anything. Close and Open and start over is all I have.

It will NOT export. At all.

I have noticed when simply clicking the sketch in the menu tree, the profile shows allot of ghost images from previous versions. My guess is that may be causing an issue? I don't know.

Oh, I saw someone mentioned i could try to do a SAVE AS... then do save as DXF but the instructions don't match so that function is not an option. Can't find that anywhere.

There is no timeline either. Not sure why. Probably because all the sketches are under one sketch?

Any help would be appreciated.

Very hard to tell without your Fusion file. Can you attach it to your post? No Timeline? I wonder why.

I can try. I skirted around the problem. I ended creating multiple individual pieces of the sketches (broke it out) from the source sketch into a NEW sketch with copy/pasting each individual sketch. Then repeat. Copied all the individual sketches into a new file as ONE sketch Bringing them all back together again. For whatever reason, it's completely cleared the problem. Just took forever. No idea how it became corrupt and would like to avoid that fiasco in the future.

I tried. The fusion file is saved on the cloud server and don't know how to save it on my local drive.
