Etching mask

Etching mask

Hi,

 

In Fusion360 I draw a sketch for a logo, a trademark and a sentence.

Then I would want to create the etching mask from my design.

 

I didn't find any tool in Fusion.

I thougt it would be as easy as saving it in Fusion and openning it in InkSkape but it isn't.

 

When someone wants to create an etching mask he needs to print it and the only fileformat that enables the same result everywhere is PDF.

 

 

The DRAWING toolset already produces PDF and enables to place views on a sheet.

In fact an etching mask is almost a section view with filled parts.

Then if someone wants to deal with double-sided etching mask he would produce the section views with the etching mask setting.

Don't forget there are positiv and negativ etching masks.

 

Positiv : Etching white

 

In current section view you got 3 types of draw :

Background

Cut

Nothing

 

Positiv etching mask :

Background is White

Cut is Black

Nothing is White

 

Negativ etching mask :

Background is Black

Cut is White

Nothing is White too.

 

Need to have cross marks at view edges.

 

Please could you add etching mask in DRAWING toolset ?

 

Regards

Hi,

 

Let's work in Inkscape for Etching masks.

 

Please let us save a sketch as PDF or SVG, may be great for many use-cases.

 

Regards
