Strut svg import on Fusion360

[Michael_Melancon (Mike M)]

Does the vector76 site tell you the size that it is expected to be?

Typically I think in the past, I’ve just measured the actual size after import and compared that to the expected size and created a scaling factor that way, then import it again.

Here’s a previous conversation we had a long time ago about it

@Michael_Melancon

When you import the SVG in Fusion, it has the ability to scale, so I just did 1450/383.627, got that 3.779713106741705 and scaled it up on import.

Not sure why EstlCAM reads it correct, but Fusion doesn’t

Why is fusion not bringing in the SVG at the right size???

For reasons no one understands, Fusion always ignores the size embedded in a Scalable Vector Graphics file. It pays attention on DXF but ignores on SVG. If you know the size spec you can manually apply it as Mike mentioned. If not, then if you can convert the SVG to DXF then you can import that instead! It’s a pain, but it is what it is.
