Having trouble importing 3d curves from Rhino into fusion 360.

I want to export 3d curves from rhino to fusion 360. Tried exporting the curves from rhino to fusion in both DXF and DWG formats, but the curves won't show up in fusion after the files open. I am attaching both the dxf and the rhino files. I have tried using the export scheme mention in the following post by @

The curves still won't show up.

This is the link for the rhino file:

This is the link for the dxf file I exported from rhino.

Seems to work if you explode the polylines in Rhino before exporting. Think you'll need to use upload in the data panel to import the DXF but be warned the design is made from 10,000 line segments and Fusion will be very slow, might even seem like it's crashed but should eventually come back to life if you wait!

 

Can you create using splines instead of line segments? Although in Rhino you only have one hundred polylines, even if Fusion imported without exploding first in Rhino it would still end up as 10,000 lines after conversion.

Here's the file imported into Fusion.

Thank you for the quick reply, I tried exploding the curves in rhino, it worked. But is there a way to combine the individual segments in fusion, cause I need to apply machining tool paths with with these curves and it would be impossible to do so if the curves are subdivided.

Fusion does not support polylines so no you can't combine them. I just did a quick test using trace and you can select the sketch from the browser. The order of each pass seems a bit random but it looks like all passes will end up being machined. Make sure you expand the sketch folder before trying to select the sketch.
