Options to export

[travis.r.cherry]

So I’m using the free version of fusion as I’m just stating out. I have used it a lot of the 3d printer side, but I’m not trying some laser cutting. My school has them, but you have to use illustrator. I do not have illustrator at home, so I was hoping for a way to make them in fusion and then export them. I guess fusion changed the way the free version works so cant export as pdf or as dxf any more. 

so I guess the question is, do you know if a way to export my file in a format Adobe illustrator will take on the free version?

If you fight click a sketch in Fusion's browser there's an option to save that skech as a DXF.

Hi,

Please share the file and say which part is meant and which sketch is required.

ok i see, yeah when I do it on the sketches it does allow me to do the export as DXF. I guess I was trying to export the  whole project. When trying it from the file menu that is when I was getting the below message. So I guess another question is, if i can only export the sketches, when i made the box i did the rectangular pattern to make the walls, then made changes to just the one side after the fact. Is there a way to make another sketch off a body?

Project the contours needed for the laser onto a sketch.

The DXFer add in here might be useful. Not sure if it works with the hobby version of Fusion though.

Edit, found a short youtube demo using DXFer.
