How to share a dfx

[Jim-Nolan]

I have designed this strainer to be manufactured as a tab and slot assembly for silver soldering. a couple of questions on the dfx drawing I would like to share with the laser cutter guy.

First I wanted all the laser cut parts on one sheet. The way I did this was to place an assembly base view and un check all the parts on the design tree till I got the part I wanted. As the parts duplicate this meant I did this base view 7 times, is there a slicker way ? 

Secondly this is the first laser cutter export I have done in F360 I would normally just do it in 2D. But the combine/cut tool makes the slotting so easy I decided to use F360. I have saved the dfx drawing to the fusion cloud but I have no idea how you get the drawing onto my desktop so I can email it ?

Hi,

This Way:

FILE > Export > DXF >save local > READY

I use DXFer from Github.

I am not sure I have understood what your info really means,

I run a laser cutter from 2d dxf files.  Save sketch as dxf.

DXFer allows you to collect each face of the model’s part you want to cut, ( many parts) and exports as many layers, in one dxf File.  You have to do the nesting in a 2d Cad program until Fusion Nesting comes through.

Might help....

You can right-click on any sketch in the Browser tree and from the pop-up context menu select Save as DXF.

Now, that makes individual DXF files for each sketch. I would assume the laser cutter guy can nest them as he sees fit for his available sheet stock and his machine, no?

Thanks for the replies , I tried the file > export, but the export option was greyed out.  I then  selected output> output sheet as a dfx and this time it automatically gave me the option to save it to my google drive. I am sure that was not the case yesterday.  Neither can I remember setting up the save location, but all's well that ends well,
