sizing splines in sketch

[karloust]

I have a simple design I want to plot/machine with fusion 360.

But it gives me a lot of problems in fusion 😉

The svg file I loaded into a sketch but it has no dimentions, plus it is not 1 single line but consists of a lot of lines/splines. 

I loaded the svg into inkscape set a dimention there and saved as a .dxf file but the multiple lines still exists and the dimention is lost..

So I found out that at least the svg is solid and I can use the face to extrude and have a workaround for the multiple lines.  But with the dimention I am stuck, how can I make the design 31.6mm height and 22.1mm width ? 

Attached is my svg design.

Draw it in Fusion.

Might help....

Hi,

Follow @davebYYPCU  recommendation and take note:

As many control points as necessary and as few as possible.

Yes I did not think about that thanks for that. But this is only because the design is quit simple. I was wondering if there is a standard solution to import complex (curved forms) svg into fusion 360 and resize it in the sketch ?

[karloust]

Since it is possible to get 1 face out of it when you quit the sketch, it must be possible to resize the face also in the sketch. Or maybe after you leave the sketch before you do a extrude ?

Edit sketch and scale.

You don’t need to edit the sketch to change dimensions or parameters.

1. What is the function of the geometry?

2. What manufacturing process will be used to generate the geometry?

2b. What are the realistic tolerances for #2?

[karloust]

the geometry will be used to create placeholders for plastic casings (that have this form).

So the shapes will be copied 16 times (4 by 4) and placed on a sheet, that will be milled on a MDF board.

Then the same shapes (but a little bit resized) will be used for a glue robot to glue the casings.

We will use a modified CNC router with a pneumatic dispenser , as a glue robot (at least we will try ;).

Simple tangent arcs - no spline(s) needed.

Close enough.
