So we have a simple part drawn up in fusion360 in INCH as we normally do and then we saved it. then export as a DXF and transfer it to our plasma cutter that has MACH3
the part is a simple rectangle 49.875" x 11.25" x 11.5"
everything is contrained.
saved it to a thumb drive to transfer to the Plasma cutter - load it up - and the part is now bigger than our 4'x8' table.
Any idea what is going on?
also tried it as a DWG file but MACH3 would not open or read that.
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
Export uses the cloud translators which convert dxf (and similar CAD types) to cm.
A workaround is to use Save As DXF. This uses the local translator, but can only work on one sketch at a time.
Another is to embrace cm for this workflow.
