svg processing (extrude) takes a very long time

[autosalvideoguy]

When the number of profiles is above 30 or so. Is this processor or GPU-intensive?

Also, can we stitch a bunch of sketch profiles from and SVG in the surface menu and then do a combine in the solid menu with it an another solid? This doesn't appear to work. The stitched new solid cannot be selected as the second item in a combine.

My ultimate goal is to draw line-art in Inkscape, import it as a plain SVG and then extrude it so I can combine it with a solid. This ends up being a 'cut' operation to give a negative relief for a clay tile mold.

Hi,

Without seeing the file we cannot give any clues.

Please share the file.

Here is the f3d file.

Try to take the original sketch7 and extrude it 2 mm

This will have 60+ profiles which takes a very long time.

I have an i7 quad-core 16gb osx catalina laptop.  (2014) so maybe its a little slow.

Hi,

1. sketch 7 is a circle and there´s no problem to extrude

2.. However, the timeline shows numerous operations whose meaning is not discernible to me.
3 There are many places where it is not possible to make a meaningful distinction between extrudable profiles.
4. what is the purpose of the centre line in the profiles?

Sorry, I meant sketch 5.  Turn off everything but 5 and you will see a line drawing imported as svg to a sketch.

Hi,

I have commented on this under 3.
If you want to extrude individual elements, you have to select them one after the other and not with window selection.
I can only recommend to first remove the numerous (unnecessary) overlaps in the sketch. Fusion checks each element to see if it can create an extrusion profile, and this process is very time-consuming.

FYI I was the Product Manager at Autodesk in San Francisco for the Autodesk Community from 2014-2016. I knew the PM for Fusion but this was before my interest in 3d Printing and making started.

Thanks for your help.
