Export "clean" dxf from SU

[ipsketchpi]

Please suggest how to do best. I export details to DXF for laser cut machine. In SU radius is nice line, not spitted in segments but in autocad it is in segments and I have to redraw all radiuses in autocad to have them in one line and only then I can join all lines in one poly line.

What do i do wrong?

Thanks.

You're not doing anything wrong. When converting from one format (in this case .skp) to another (.dxf), always 'stuff' happens.. information disappears or gets converted. In Sketchup, the curve consists of 12 segments but Sketchup knows its one element. When exporting, this kind of information is lost somehow and it's 12 individual elements.

Maybe there's a convertor out there that reads .skp and writes .dxf that recognizes Sketchup curves and converts them into dxf curves but you will have to try out different convertors yourself. Maybe you're lucky and someone on this forum already has found one...

good luck!

I almost never use that export feature so I'm not an expert. Anyway I just tried and it came out well in ACAD.

You have to export it as 3d model.
