Issues importing .svg and .dxf files from Illustrator

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have seen several posts here about issues importing .svg files from Adobe Illustrator but very little resolution.  I am importing a fairly complicated logo that is to be cnc milled into a sign for a business.  As soon as I import the .svg Fusion crashes every time.  Is illustrator not the ideal program for this?  There are approx 12,000 points (or curves?) in the logo when I export it.  I saw that converting them to polylines might help, but I do not know how to do that. 

Any information would be incredible!  Thank you in advance.

12,000 curves is very highly not recommended.  Each of those curves will attempt to create a corresponding sketch curve, and that many curves will overwhelm the sketch constraint solver.

I am not an Illustrator user, so I can't help you with how to change Illustrator settings to reduce this curve count.  Hopefully there is a way to convert your design to something with a much smaller curve count.  Anything over a couple hundred curves will be hard to use in Fusion.

Also, when you say Fusion "crashes", do you get a crash report dialog, or does it just hang until you force quit it?  If so, likely Fusion is not crashing at all, but is just VERY busy trying to process all those curves.  It will likely eventually finish, but could take a couple of hours to do so.
