    hi

    Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but couldn’t find anything 

    I create rc plane designs using fusion 360.
    I cannot print the plans directly but can save/ export them as dxf files.

    When I open/upload the  file to inkscape,eg the sketch  of a wing ,it produces everything that has straight lines (to scale) but not the curvy bit at the wing tip ,have tried the various options you are presented with at the start eg read from file, gcode tools etc , but it still won't produce the pesky curve at the wing tip !!
    Any help much appreciated .
    Thanks

    I had success by using the Fusion add-in Save DXF for Laser.  The dxf it creates splines that Inkscape can read.

    It requires the profiles in Fusion to be extruded a minimal amount so that a face can be selected.

    Feel free to share a Fusion file for testing.

    The Shaper Utilities Add-In for Fusion 360, is another option if you want to export SVG instead.
