A detailed look at DXF Import Utility, a free add-in for Fusion that further supports the wide variety of workflows across the industry. Fusion has a wealth of built-in translators to help you collaborate effectively, regardless of other software used. But not every design comes from a 3D model, especially when working with legacy data or customer files where their process includes 2D design. To better support the wide variety of workflows across the industry, we built the DXF Import Utility.

This is a free add-in available on the Fusion App Store. Check out this link for more detailed help installing add-ins. Next, a dialog box appears where you can customize the import settings. Some highlights include arrangement into rows, closing sketch gaps, automatic extrusion, and text import. They will automatically place themselves based on the part spacing and the number of rows.

If you opted for extrusion, Fusion will attempt to extrude each sketch to the specified thickness. There are a number of options that can also be set to perform various customizations and cleanup of the imported DXF files. In the past when I needed to generate a bunch of cut files for our CNC Router from dxf files, it would be quicker to use VCarve, but with this add-in, I was able to knock out a dozen multi layer each layer for a toolpath dxf files and get it out onto the shop floor much quicker.
