Re: help scaling DXF files in fusion 360
I have watched that video a couple times
I "think" I can sketch the base of the ring and add the "windows' for where the skull or other dxf will go
extrude it,
then bring in the dxf to it, locate it where I want, and extrude it
then join the two?

Ok just had a chance to mess with the design
it looks and moves attach
However, as I move the mouse the antlers change colors
will this be ok as a dxf to have cut
Thanks

Re: help scaling DXF files in fusion 360
I don't understand what your specific question is. Are you creating your cut paths and g-code with Fusion 360?ArcticMonkey wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2024 4:11 pm Ok just had a chance to mess with the design

Follow the instructions in the video posted by Plasmanewbie to "weld/union" your skull body to your main body (once you have extruded the skull).

I assume you are trying to do something like this. I don't know what you mean by moving the mouse and it changing colors.

Re: help scaling DXF files in fusion 360
Good morning David
That is exactly what I am trying to do
I followed the video
did join
and the deer head was above the plate but attached
I am sure I am missing one small step that I cant figure out
I did it once with the punisher the logo but i cant seem to duplicate the process
any chance you would be willing to do a video call with me to walk me through it?

Here is the method Plasmanewbie shows in his video. Either method will achieve the same result.

Re: help scaling DXF files in fusion 360
Let us know how you make out, and also please let us know if you use Fusion 360 for drawing only - or are you creating your cut paths and g-code using Fusion 360 as well?
Thanks,
David
