DXF will not load, and SVG are not the correct size

Pearsonh001 · ‎08-12-2023

Hi,

If used Fusion for years to make fretboards. I usually create the design in coral draw and then import as a DXF and turn it into a 3D model to cut it out. All of a sudden fusion will not import any DXF files, even files I have already used to make other fretboards, so I know they have worked before. I tried using SVG files but the scaling is so random I can get it accurate enough, and when I get one dimension right, other dimensions are wrong, and if the frets are not perfectly spaced the guitar will not play in tune across the fretboard. Please help, this is very frustrating since I have used this process many times before and all of a sudden nothing works.

Please attach a DXF that is giving you issues so the Forum users can take a look. I do not think you will have to Zip it first but be prepared to if needed.

If you've used Fusion for years why are you importing DXF files rather than drawing in Fusion?

And please share a DXF you can't load and a SVG.
