DXF Exporting Issues
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:12 pm
I'm going to lead off by saying I tried to search for an answer on this, but the search configuration prevents me from searching for "dxf" and "dxf export" because they are too short/too common. So, if this has been answered elsewhere, I apologize.
I have a Sketch that I would like to export as a DXF so I can use it in my CAM software. However, I'm running into two issues.
This is what it looks like as a Sketch:
This is the view that loads in 2d CAD software, and my CAM software:
I skewed it slightly to see the dogbones are on a different plane:
And if I rotate it in FreeCAD, I see it without the dogbones, some of the pockets, and without the distinction of the dino legs:
It is very possible I am doing something wrong here, so if so, please let me know what I can troubleshoot. I've tried futzing with all of these settings for DXF export and I didn't notice a difference:

- The sketch plane is being ignored/I'm also getting flat sketches with seemingly two planes when exported into the DXF. Specifically, the main sketch is a flat line, but dog bones are perpendicular to the flat line. I have worked around the flatness slightly, by changing the sketch plane from XZ to XY, but the dog bones are still coming through in a different plane.
- B Splines are not exporting at all. I have regular geometry intersecting with B splines and the regular geometry works fine, but there is complete emptiness where the B splines should be. I did find a discussion on this from 2014, but it was unclear if it was ever resolved.
