Convert Sketch to Polylines for export to DXF

We have a laser cutter that appears to not like the DXF exports from Fusion 360.

 

The problem it appears is that it wants everything to be polylines.  Loading up in AutoCAD, exploding, and saving fixes it; Is there a way to do this inside of Fusion360?

Are you exporting a sketch as a DXF from the model workspace or are you exporting a DWG from a drawing?

 

At this time, the post-processing export option you're looking for to convert splines to plines (polylines) is not available. This would make a great addition in the Fusion 360 Ideastation. If you submit a request, post it back here and I'll vote it up too!

 

Thanks,

Hi Nathan,

   I was exporting from a Sketch in the modelling space.

 

   I have taken your advice and posted the feature request on Ideastation: Converting Splines to Polylines.

 

Thanks,
