Right click on the image and select 'save image as' and select where on your computer you would like to save it. If you find that after importing the DXF back into Onshape, that it still has unexplainable disconnected line segments, please consider using the feedback tool to submit a ticket. Once you find the image you want click on it. The end of this thread also mentions an issue with Inkscape specifically that is very similar. If you import the DXF back into Onshape (into a sketch for example) does it look correct? The problem might be the face that you are using and how the face is being converted (and exported), or how DXF's are imported and exported from Inkscape. That's a shame, because I was really thinking about extracting both 3D and 2.5D milling data from Onshape. I couldn't find any easy way to re-connect the fragments of lines in Inkscape. Sadly, when imported in Inkscape, the shape won't be one continuous closed path, but a bunch of disconnected line segments, even if you were careful to 'use' a surface and not an edge in your sketch. quick and easy to take a image and convert it to g-code withInkscape and jscut. One problem with this approach is (unless I couldn't find the right way to do it) that we need to rework the DXF afterwards.įor example if I want to extract the profile of a shape before milling, I can create a sketch, 'use' the edges on it and then export the DXF.

Any sketch can be exported to a DXF by right clicking it in the feature list. One thing you may consider is using a sketch in a part studio for these purposes.
