Import 123d Design files with sketches

[g.romeo]

Hi,

this is my first post here.

I have some 123d design files containing sketches, with no meshes. I need to import the sketches into Fusion360 but I cannot find a way to do such an import.

Is there a way?

Many thanks,

Giovanni

Don't know if this might help, it might only work for surfaces though. Fusion can import the SMT file using New Design from file on the file menu.

Hi HughesTooling and thanks.
I've already tried that method, but the SMT/SAT file is empty since there's no mesh in the 123dx file, only sketches which I think are saved in a different file inside the 123dx compressed file.

Hi,

Autodesk people: any idea?

Thanks,

Have you got a 123d file you can share, I'd like to see what's in one. You will probably need to change the extension to zip before you upload of it might be rejected.

Hi,

here's the file (please remove the .zip extension). It's a draft, it still needs major modifications, plus since it will be laser-cutted, it'll have to be laid out on a single plane.

Anyway, it's a file with sketches only.

Many thanks,

Giovanni

Sorry nothing in the file looks recognizable as a file you can open in Fusion. You might want to add a request on the idea station for 123d import but that's not likely to happen for a while. Are there any options at all in 123D to export as DXF or SVG?

Hi, maybe I found a way...
It's not straightforward, but it works: extrude all the sketches into separate solids, then align them so they stay in the very same plane; then from the menu, select 2d export > to DWG/DXF and select one of the top faces on any of the solids.

This seems to work, but it's tedious if you have many sketches.
