Creating layers in fusion 360 for CNC machining

[aharveyDX4KE]

Hello all,

I'm wondering if there is a way to create something similar to how layers work in AutoCAD in Fusion 360? 

In my work, we create DXFs of anything that we want to cut on our CNC machine (mostly rubber gaskets), and each DXF has separate layers for each type of feature (e.g. small holes, outside profile etc.). As we're looking to switch over to a purely Fusion 360-based solution, would something like this be possible? Or would I have to draw up the gasket in Fusion 360, and then export to AutoCAD to create the layers used by the CNC software?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

in Fusion you can only export single DXF from sketches or if no sketches are available you can project contours into a sketch and save it as DXF with a corresponding name.

But it might make sense to look at the Manufacture environment to generate machining data for an existing post processor.
