Please, please, please fix duplicated features in .dxf export
A lot of places like .dxf or .pdf for laser and waterjet cutting.
It's great to be able to open a sketch and export to .dxf for that, but invariably they tell me that the curves are duplicated - and if I open in Illustrator, every single curve seems to be traced twice.
On any design with the slightest bit of complexity, it's a huge PITA to manually go through and clean those up.
Are you using sketch on face then using project? This will always produce double lines because when you start a sketch on a face all the edges are automatically projected, if you then pick the face with project you get double lines. Try starting with an offset construction plane and project to that.
I am having the same issue. I found that if I select a face, click create sketch and export, i get a clean dxf with a curve. However, if I "project" a body, I get a poly-line for the curve. Since I can only select one face to created the sketch, i am forced to either create a sketch for every body, or project the other bodies. If you select a face AND project, you will end up with duplicate features. If I select one body then project a different one, I get one path that uses the arc and the other path that uses a poly-line. It would be handy to be able to select multiple faces that are on the same plane when creating a new sketch.
@Ron4 Rod The problem you describe was reported a while ago, one of those improvements that's good for some and useless for others. The only quick free workaround I can suggest is download QCad and explode the polylines.
