Follow these steps to export a DXF file that our system can process without issues:
- Use 1:1 scale — always export in real-world units (mm or inches).
- Close all paths — open contours cannot be cut. Use your CAD join/close tool before exporting.
- Flatten to 2D — remove all 3D geometry, dimensions, and construction lines.
- One part per file — export each unique part as a separate DXF for accurate quoting.
- No title blocks — remove borders, text annotations, and symbols from the drawing.
- Export as R12 or R14 — older DXF versions ensure the widest compatibility.
Compatible software: AutoCAD, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, FreeCAD, Inkscape, and most CAD/CAM tools.
