Autodesk Fusion 360 - Conversion of Files - .pdf to .dwg and .dxf

Jeremy Wilkins · 2023-04-03T11:35:02Z

Hi all I’ve just introduced myself in another part of this ‘General Discussion section of the Forum. I’m aware that Autodesk Fusion 360 does not directly support ‘.pdf’ files and have been looking at websites that offer file conversion from .pdf to .dwg and .dxf. I’ve tried a couple of sites so far – hopefully, screenshots attached – and managed to produce one .dwg file and .dxf file, from two different .pdf files. My understanding is that .dxf files can be directly imported into the Fusion 360 software. I have tried in with the (admittedly only one) .dxf file that I have – and I just keep getting error messages. My understanding is that .dwg files have to be uploaded to ‘the cloud’ (if that is the correct terminology) and then ‘downloaded’ again if you wish to work on them on your own computer. I have tried this with the (admittedly only one) .dwg file that I have – even after additionally downloading Autodesk’s ‘Desktop Connector’ software - and the .dwg just does not appear on my computer. Could it be that the .dwg and .dxf files that I have are corrupted – even although the conversions appeared to have been completed successfully? Can any of you recommend a (preferably free/inexpensive) website which reliably converts .pdf to .dwg/.dxf filetypes? Thanks in advance Jeremy Wilkins

@rong from what little I know, it seems to me that Fusion 360 will do all that I presently wish to do and a lot more besides - which I will probably never need/never use. 🙂

Cheers

@jeremy-wilkins that was my thoughts when I originally started posting about it, it caters for my (limited) modelling needs.
