    Hello,

    Normally I do plasma cutting but I want to play around with my router on the cnc. I am trying out fusion 360 and want to export it to torchmate CAM to create toolpath. It looks like fusion 360 doesn't export .dxf files only
    .f3d
    .igs
    .sat
    .smt
    .stp

    Is anyone else using fusion 360 and any help please. I am using torchmate version 3.0.19 on windows 10

    thanks

    Looks like you are going to need another 3D software such as BobCad to take the file and convert it to a dxf, BobCad can also create the tool path for you instead of a dxf file.

    you can export a dxf in fusion 360. You have to go into the 2d mode and right click on your part on the left column where the little lightbulbs are and there is an export dxf or save dxf in the drop down menu. Ive done it before for a random part.
