Need to Extract Sketch to DXF--file attached

Good Morning,   the attached part was uploaded into Fusion as a SW part.  I need to extract a sketch.   What I am needing to accomplish is get the profile sketch of the part and send it out as a dxf so I can import the dxf into my CAM software.   We are cannot use Fusion as our CAM software yet.  I know how to do this when I have created the sketch in Fusion, but is there a way to extract a sketch from the model when the model has been uploaded into Fusion?  Thank you!

As the part is an import there are no sketches. An easy way to make a sketch is to use Intersect, create a plane at a level that intersects all the features then use intersect.

@HughesTooling you beat me to it. That's the exact workflow for this kind of thing.

 

(The last step is to right click on the sketch created to export as DXF.)

 

Thanks,
