Exported DXF files are distorted

[Pearsonh001]

So I've stumbled through mt first real Fusion model that I will be cutting out on my CNC router. Ive created  a sketch on the face I would like to cut and exported it as a DXF. When I open up the file in any other software ( illustrator, Corel draw, Cut 3d, Lasercut 5.3 etc) the file is distorted. Most notably any line that is a circle. 

I can attach a file if need be , but its happening on any dxf I try to export with circles, with any design from fusion. 

Any advice would be appreciated so I don't have to go in and manually change all the lines before I cut my parts. 

Thanks, 

Pearson

I'm not quite sure what you mean by distorted. If you could attach some pictures or files, that would be great.

Oh, no, how long has this been happening?

i use Lasercut 5.3, can you see it, or do I need to buy a micrometer?

More details please!

Hello @Pearsonh001

It will help us a lot if you can provide us the f3d model so that we can debug and try to find-fix the issue.

Thank you

Here are examples of the distortion I am seeing export as a DXF.

This is the dxf I exported to cut on my router.



This is what the dxf looks like in any other software I open it in.




as you can see the circular cut outs are no circles.

Any help would be appreciated, finally good somewhat fluid in fusion and
now I have a lot of files to cut but im dead in the water until this gets
fixed.

I replied by email and the images arent showing up in the form so here the are again.

DXF i export vs. the DXF in other software.  As you can see the circular shapes are not circular when i open in another program.

I just went and exported your cut sketch into dxf, and opened using AutoCAD 2018. I had no issues with my dxf. All lines/curves are exactly as you expect. I suspect the problem is with the software that you're using to open the dxfs.

A line and a circle are two different geometry types.

Can you File>Export and then Attach your *.f3d file here?

Attach the resulting *.dxf file too.

Oops, I did not read far enough.

I have exported to corel draw, laser cut 5.3, and Cut 3-d, all with the
same issue. Can you try opening up in something other than an autodesk
program?
I have done this before with no issues, only with this file.

Yeah I Agree,

I've had bad experience trying to export DXF's from Fusion. 

Where I notice it the most is with arcs - computers says NOOO
