Bevel Cut DXF

[browbra2]

I know in Inventor you can export a sheet metal flat pattern that has a bevel edge, let's say 45 Degrees to be cut at a plasma table, however, I am unable to find a way to do this with fusion 360.

Can you provide an example of what want? e.g. a model and its DXF export made by Inventor.

The dxf and model is from fusion 360, I won't be able to upload a dxf from inventor until tomorrow.

On the one side of this sheet metal component the edge is at a 45 Degree angle instead of normal (90 degrees) like the other 3 edges. However the dxf does not show this. It pops up with only 4 edges, when it should have a 5th extra lin along the one edge that has the 45 degree angle so that a plasma table can recognize that layer and cut the edge at the 45 rather than 90.

I will upload inventor dxf file tomorrow that will demonstrate what I am attempting to explain.

Thank you for your help.

Here is the inventor files. I didn't take the time to make the dimensions the same as the fusion one, but you should still be able to tell what I was trying to describe.

I don't have Inventor readily available, so I just made a new design.  I used Chamfer, but could have done an Extrude Cut from the side.  It seems to be OK as a sheet metal component.  I can produce a flat pattern from it, etc.

My concern is being able to plasma cut out that angle on the edge. With a plasma table, didn't know if this was possible in Fusion.

ah, sorry, I thought you were referring to how the design was created.  @seth.madore - can you answer the question about plasma cutting at an angle?

Coincidentally, this was asked about just recently over in the MFG forum:

long story short, you'll need to use a multi-axis milling toolpath (Extension item) and a post modification
