DXF Export of 2D CAM Toolpath

DXF Export of 2D CAM Toolpath

This is one that has already been brought up and archived, but I want to try and revive support. Here's the previous attempt:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-ideastation/dxf-export-of-cam-toolpath/idi-p/6432780

 

The idea is pretty much what it says on the tin: I have a 2d toolpath, and I want to export it to DXF so I can hand it to a laser cutter shop that wants designs submitted as drawings. They ultimately need a PDF, which is easy(ish) to generate given a DXF file.

 

This is handy because it makes it easier to account for the cutter's kerf than including extra lines in the sketch or adjusting a sketch based on offset drawings of.

 

There are a couple of post processors for this very purpose (one for the laser cutter I'm going to use, even - see the post linked above), but they don't support tool compensation, so I get dimensions that are exactly the same as the model (boo).

Ack. It seems that I was wrong. Kerf setting does indeed affect the output of the ULS postprocessor. So this feature exists. My bad y'all.
