Solved: Inserting DXF to sketch hangs Fusion 360

Anonymous · ‎08-26-2018

I'm loading a DXF while editing a new sketch. The DXF is made from raytracing a bitmap, and is about 1mb in size.

When inserting this DXF into a sketch Fusion occupies 800mb ram just to cope with it and it takes forever to calculate and to move the vectors around in the sketch. Its just impossible to work with.

If I save the vectors as SVG after raytracing, and insert into Fusion its much better but still way to slow.

Its like a lot of vectors just is really hard to handle for Fusion. I experience that sketching is going the wrong way. I have crashed my Fusion several times today when working with this design.

I have attached both the dxf and svg to this post.

Your DXF file has over 10,000 lines in it, anything over a few hundred will bring Fusion to its knees. If you need to work with files like this Fusion's not the right tool.
