Tips

• Save a sketch as a DXF for use in different manufacturing methods, such as laser cutting.
• If you have a body you want to laser cut the profile of, create a sketch on the top or bottom face of the body. The edges of the face are automatically projected into the sketch.
• Check Save to a Fusion project to save the DXF to save it in the Fusion web client.
