3D Fusion 360 Manual Laser Cut

Manual for Fusion 360 is a free (for hobbyists and smallish businesses) CAD/CAM software package with a lot of features:While a lot of its focus is on 3D, it has great 2D features ("Sketches") that can be used for work with the Laser. Once you have it installed and running, the path to get something from a Fusion 360 Sketch into LaserCut is as follows:
1) Create the Sketch of the part you want to use
2) Save the Sketch as a DXF
3) Open the DXF in DraftSight, Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator or another program.
4) Save the DXF as an ASCII DXF (Version R12, R13 or R14 if available)
(Or in Adobe Illustrator Version 10, if using Adobe)
5) In LaserCut, Import the new file.
There is likely some esoteric reason why Fusion360 exports in a DXF format that LaserCut can't read, and doesn't provide options for specific versions or formats. Don't know, Don't care currently, we'll figure that out eventually.
