What is the best way to prepare a Gerber file for importing into Fusion 360?  I have designed a PCB in Fritzing and now I need to edit it for routing on my CNC machine. 

 

Fritzing can output .jpg and .svg as well as gerber.

It should be as "clean" as possible and SVG is your best option.

 

By clean I mean: nothing you don't want Fusion 360 to "think" about. Traces, text labels, components blocks, pads, etc. are all noise. Send Fusion only the mech layer (board outline and holes).

 

Sure you can't get dxf or dwg out of your 3rd party tool? That would be even better.

 

Thanks and please let us know how it goes.
