DXF export problems with CNC machine CAM software

guillermo_lovato

Hello,

i'm running into an odd issue when i try to process the drawings i make in onshape in the CNC native CAM program(that is very very rudimentary) that instead of generating a single outline it generates a myriad operations for each segment.

The workflow is:

1. Export face of object as DXF( >autocad2000 version)
2. in CAM software create a containing piece, then import the DXF over that piece.

If i i do it directly from the exported onshape, it's unmanageable, every small segment, curve, circle generates another machining operation.

The only way to make it work has been:

1. Export face of object as DXF( >autocad2000 version) in onshape
2. In fusion360 import the dxf then export it as-is
3. Use ODA file converter as fusion seems to export dxf files older than acad2000 and no way to change that.
   
4. in CAM software create a containing piece, then import the DXF over that piece.

This results in a clean single outline with a single machining operation

As you can see this method is extremely cumbersome and time-consuming, i'm wondering what i can do in onshape to output a single connected line like what fusion exports. I've tested exporting with/without the spline as polyline to no avail.

The piece i'm working is https://cad.onshape.com/documents/faf32af514831738fce13523/w/05fe4f0fe8423eb82c860e3a/e/e78f114941174c34952afa77?renderMode=0&uiState=663d11d70cfddf33f417bbd5

¿any ideas?
