I'm trying to laser cut a foam socket organizer. I need a 2D DXF file for my laser cutter software. I have a bunch of sockets and a digital caliper that sends measurements to Excel at the click of a button.
What I'd like to do is create a parameterized sketch block that includes a circle where the socket will sit and the socket label. Ideally, I'd be able to measure each socket, send the actual diameter to Excel, and add a standardized clearance amount and a label. Then, I'd assign the relevant column headers to my parameterized sketch block and Fusion 360 would spit out a sketch block for each socket. Then, I'd lay the blocks out, save the sketch as a DXF and go to town on the laser cutter.
Does anyone know if this can be done in Fusion 360? If not, is there any software you're aware of that can?
Thanks!
