How do I export to SVG if all I have is a drawing?

[dewaine50]

I have a specific section of a drawing that I would like to export as an SVG. This is a common workflow in other CADs but I can't find the equivalent in Fusion's drawing workflow suite. I can only export as a dxf which seems to heavily 2d-tesselate smooth lines and circles. 

I tried recreating the same thing as a body and exporting the sketch in the shaperorigin plugin, but that seems to superbold all the thin lines.

I haven't experienced the 'heavily 2d-tesselated' curves in DXF exports. What software are you using to open the them?

Here's what I see when I open one of mine:

Hi,

Here´s DXF Export from Fusion to Inkscape  and SVG Import from Inkscape

Splines have to be converted to polylines before export!

You say a section of a Drawing?  The Shaper Origin plug-in works in the Solid Modeling environment doesn't it? Can you post a Fusion 3560 file that demonstrates the issue?

I haven't tried it yet but in the past I've been about to copy/paste into a vector graphics editor like Adobe Illustrator. 

Occasionally there is some extra cleanup needed but you should be able to create a high quality SVG file regardless. I heard Affinity Designer is another option. Inkscape is a popular open-source vector editor to can import DXF files and export SVG too.
