"laser print" manufacturing layout

[ehgradman]

Hi, I have an assembly of flat parts from which I've created a Manufacturing model.  I've used Arrange to lay those parts out in a sketch profile.  I want to print this layout at 1:1 scale as a vector OR export it as a DXF.

Why?  My trusty old laser cutter is a ULS M-300.  This wonderful 20 year old (!) beast does not use G-code, but rather acts like a regular printer under Windows.  I can configure power and speed in the printer driver, print vectors from Rhino3d, and the laser and Windows driver just magically take care of the rest.

I'm currently "exporting as DXF which requires cloud translation" and I can already tell that this isn't going to be a workable solution.  10 minutes to export a simple DXF file?  Yikes!

The other way around could be you can create a sketch and project and you can save the sketch as dxf

@ehgradman another way would you can create a drawing with 1:1 scale and export sheet as a dxf

This is great.  Projecting the parts to a new sketch and exporting the sketch as DXF lets me open the DXF in Rhino3d and print from there.  Cutting now!
