Slicer for fusion 360 outputs incorrect dimensions.

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to get this apple pie ready for laser cutting out of plywood:

My original model

I used the slicer for Fusion 360 on it:

The model sliced up

I got my sheets out of it (which are quite inneficient in material usage by the way. The first sheet has a ring in which another circle could easily fit...):

The sheets

I saved them all into this folder:

The opened folder with all layers

I check one of the dxf files:

One of the DXF files, with incorrect dimensions...

In this dxf I measured the center circle. Although it is not supposed to be exactly the 22 mm it was in my stl file (the measurement tool doesn't let me select it as an actual circle), I am sure that 555 mm for a 22 mm hole is a bit excessive :P. Does anyone have an idea as to why this huge inaccuracy occurs? In the first screenshot you can see that the width of the entire part is not even as big as 555 mm.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Ruben

Looks like you're off by a factor of 25.4? That just seems like a unit conversion issue to me. Check that you have the correct units set when you open the dxf file.

Yeah,  by now I figured it out myself. It was indeed a problem with imperial units, even though the slicer for fusion 360 program indicated the drawings were metric.

Slicing a model is easy.

1. Create a sketch.
2. Draw a horizontal (or vertical) line wider or longer than the model. 
3. Rectangular pattern the line. 
4. Close Sketch.
5. Open Split Body command.
6. Select all of the lines for the Splitting Tool(s).
