First I took these DXF files as an example: File:Trencherdxfs.zip. I think I've discovered how to get the right DXF files for cutting. The instruction say to put the files it into the. To clarify further on the DXF import/export library I had trouble with the plugin so I disabled the automatic one in preferences for FreeCAD v0.16 and I used v1.39 available here Notes: Unit selections in FreeCAD do not affect size of SVG.įreeCAD v0.16 and earlier From Abe Anderson

MJ notes - Note that this works in v16, and it works for any original sketch - or sketch generated from 3D using Shape2DView.

Now Export sketch as flattened svg via file->export.

Use Draft-> Draft to Sketch (still viewing normal to sketch plane)

In Draft Workbench, go to Draft -> Shape2DView tool if you want to flatten the 3D shape.

The CNC machine can do better than the crude approximation the draft workbench gives.Īidan Williamson ( talk) 01:43, 8 December 2019 (UTC) I'm confused.The issue with the draft-> Shape2DView is that it doesn't produce good circles. It doesn't make any sense why I should need to do that, as my drawings are produced to a 1:1 scale. If I manually scale all the objects up by about 375%, then it seems to import into LaserCut the right size. but they are never the right size.ĭoes anyone have any idea how to get the DXF to properly represent the size of my drawing? I've never worked with DXFs before. When I import the file into LaserCut, the paths are all the right shape. When saving to DXF, it prompts me for the base unit, and I chose mm. I've tried to save the SVG to DXF both using Save As. I've also tried changing around the scaling factor, and that made no difference. In the document properties, I have the scaling set to 1:1, 1 user unit to 1 mm.

I've verified all the paths are the correct size. As per the LaserCut page regarding Inkscape support, I have the document properties unit set to mm, all my paths are sized in mm. I have my SVG file all complete, scaled to the full size (1:1). I have an SVG file that I'm converting to DXF to feed to a laser cutter via the LaserCut 5.3 software.
