Creating a file and converting it to DXF, importing it into Onshape doesn't work?

k_koderak_kodera Member Posts: 8

I created a text in Photoshop, saved it as EPS and then converted it online as DXF.
When I import and paste these into Onshape nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? What do I have to consider?

I was already able to import such a self-created file, but I don't know why it worked, what I did differently.

    Did you convert your text to outlines?

    I assume you're trying to bring it into a sketch in a part studio? Have you viewed it anywhere to be sure the conversion worked?

    If you have access to Photoshop, do you also have Illustrator? It can export curves as DXFs.

    I use the german version of Photoshop. I scan/raster (in german it is "Text rastern") the text. Where can I convert it to outlines?

    Yes, I also have Illustrator. Where can I export the curves as DXF?

    Thank you
