Trouble converting fusion file to DXF

I have made a design on fusion and want to export it to a format that is compatible to coreldraw as my vendors machine can only read cdr or dxf file. When I export to dxf however, there were some extra lines that were not part of my fusion design that suddenly appeared. What do I do ? Help please 🙏🏼

There are a few ways to do this:

 

  • Remove any unnecessary geometry that isn't required (like @Warmingup1953 has highlighted) and save the sketch as DXF.
  • Create a new sketch, project the body and save this sketch as DXF.

  • Create 2D drawings from the models at 1:1 scale and export these as DXF.

Hope this helps.

I've created a Windows application (and now Mac as well) for creating custom thread files for Fusion. You can find out about it here. Hope you find it useful.
If you need to know how to offset threads for 3D printing then I've created a guide here which you might find useful.

DXFer might help as it can export faces to a 2d DXF file.

DXFer might help as it can export faces to a 2d DXF file, without any new Fusion sketches.

Good suggestion but I don't think it can be used in this case as there's a radius at the bottom:
