Creating 2D vector files for CNC

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I am working on a design for an armoire, and am nearing completion of the design. I plan to build this design using plywood and will be purchasing materials from a local lumber supply store that has a CNC machine. I have determined that it would be easier to have the shop cut slots for the shelves in the sidewalls using their CNC, and I have been corresponding with the guy who does that. After some research, I was able to set up a tool path for what I want to do and I sent the file to the gentleman at the shop. This was his reply:

"Basically I need a 2d vector file

all vectors joined

2 layers profiles and dados

no duplicates

no 3d

call out on depths

Send everything over with plywood type

estimate .725” thickness for ply "

I have been able to glean a decent understanding from the forums of what I think I am supposed to do (what he is asking for), but I am unsure. I think he wants a DFX file of the sketch of the side wall including the slots with dimensions on all of that, and Gcode for the toolpath. Does that make sense? 

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

I don't think you will be able to give the shop what they are looking for with Fusion. They are looking for a .dxf file of all the geometry needed, and Fusion can't produce that. We can use a .dxf post processor to produce something close, but it's going to be a .dxf of the toolpath, not part dimensions.

I highly doubt they are going to accept actual toolpath code...
