import dxf

[krzysztof_smiarowski]

Hi

when import dxf files to fusion it always look like made from points

is there any way to import them like a line or to change them from points to lines

thanks

Welcome to the forum!  This looks like the curve points on a spline.  Can you tell us where the dxf originated? Is this a shape made in AutoCAD?

I am moving this post to the Fusion Design forum to increase findability among the experts who can help you.  Good luck!

probably that's how it was exported, I work daily with imported DXF and sometimes it's quite a struggle to make an 3D model.

If you don;t select the lines, it still shows you the dots ? In my case it shows the dots only if I select the lines 

in my case that line is a spline (I sometimes clean the design using CamBam, also this shows me what tipe of line is: spline, polyline, line, arc)

I still "hate" Fusion360 for still ignoring all the texts found in dxf file, it's incredible, I haven't seen once a text imported from an dxf file 😞

Hi,

uncheck points

i unchceck this but it made change only "visible" because the dxf is still made from dots not from one line and when i want move or copy dxf there are to many objectes (e.g. not 1 drawing but 20 points)

Hi, I wonder if it would help others here to understand what you are working with if you shared the .dxf file here in this forum?  Would you be able to do that?

[krzysztof_smiarowski]

it show dots when cursor is on the line( idont need to select the line) and i can select line in some points

but still working on this later is problematic due to very high quantity of dots

[krzysztof_smiarowski]

no its not from AutoCad

i made this in lightburn (program to laser engraving)

and i have problem when making a dxf with tool to contour something in picture

i look in lightburn setting to change that but cant find anything so want to look can fusion can do something with this

A few times, forum members have asked you to share a .dxf file...Can you do that?

[krzysztof_smiarowski]

yes of couse,

here it is

[HughesTooling]

Your DXF is a polyline so all small straight lines no arcs or splines.

This is opened in Rhino.

And in Fusion. I don't get the point display unless I select them.

You can just select the region and extrude but it will be just a faceted shape.

[krzysztof_smiarowski]

ok thank you

so may i convert polyline into line or spline? to have not so many points?

[HughesTooling · Accepted solution]

Dose Lightburn have any other export options? SVG might be one to try.

Hi,

1. converted to arc (V-Carve)

2. import into Fusion

The maximum fillet is limited to 0.5mm for both variants.

Yeah thank You it looks a lot better.  

So simple solution 🙂
