Trouble converting fusion file to DXF

13120067 · ‎04-17-2024

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 🙏🏼

Can you share your Fusion file?

This is the files

Any reason these lines are here?

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.

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:
