Save sketch as DXF don´t work good.

[danielND6TD]

Hello.

I save a sketch as DXF with FUSION 360. But the problem is when i open the file with LIBRECAD don´t work good. Also don´t work good when i open with FUSION 360. Only work good when i open with AUTODESK DWG TRUEVIEW.

I only want to open the sketch with a free 2D software like LIBRECAD to make modifications, change colors of lines, etc, and next sabe in DXF to cut with laser machine.

I think with the AUTODESK DWG TRUEVIEW maybe i can save as DWG, DXF, or other format, and next open with the LIBRECAD to make the modifications and sabe as DXF

The problem is a lot of free programs can't read Fusion's splines correctly, I'd guess they all use the same libraries to read DXF files. Rhino reads the file fine but it's not free, did a quick test and found nanoCAD reads the file as well and they have a free version. Don't know if you'll be able to export from nanoCAD in a format your other programs can read.

Have a look at Draftsight, a free (old) autocad workalike which  works for me.

Hello.

I am using Draftsight and Work, not perfect but Work. When i save the file in Draftsight i can chose what King of DXF i want (ASCII or binari 2013, 2010, 2007-2009, 2004-2006, 2000-2002, R14, R13 y R12). So, only when i save in ASCII or binari R12 i can open again.

Thanks!
