Getting Started

Some laser cutters do not work with splines. In order to avoid having to open the DXF in another product to do the conversion, this add-in does it for you.

To use the add-in, click the following command

Usage

Once installed, the "DXF Spline To Polyline" add-in will create a new button in the menu of the "Model" workspace's "Sketch" panel.

When you run it it will ask you for the number of sections it should divide each spline into:

After that you can provide the path and filename of the DXF file that the sketch geometry will be exported to

Installation and Uninstallation

You can unload the add-in without uninstalling it by clicking the "Stop" button when the add-in is selected in the list box on the "Add-Ins" tab of the "Scripts and Add-Ins" dialog.

Unchecking "Run on Startup" causes the add-in not to be loaded in future sessions of Fusion 360.
