Help Converting SVG to work with CNC

[jlafuenti]

Hello, I recently got a CNC and am trying to learn how to use it to make a present for my wife.

The idea is this: I got an image of the orientation of the planets on our wedding day, I want to use my CNC to engrave this into a lid of a box.

My problem is this, I have the image as an SVG and am trying to import it into Fusion 360, I then want to use Fusion to set it up for my CNC (set up cut depth & passes and such) however, for whatever reason the import works but instead of getting an oval of each planet, it makes it a series of rectangles, when I try to set up the contouring, it selects its rectangle individually, but... there are a ton of rectangles and as far as I can tell I have to do it one at a time...

I'm really hoping this is just my lack of knowing what i'm doing and that someone more experienced than me can help.

Here's a screenshot of what I mean by "ton of rectangles"

And I've attached the SVG itself in case anyone needs to see it themselves

Any pointers or thoughts on how to do this effeciently?

I have downloaded that .svg and it is as far as I can tell NOT going to be suitable to use in Fusion 360...You could use it as a Canvas to sketch over but again not ideally with Fusion 360.

Actually, the Elipse command will make easy work once you define the axes axes
