Issue with size when exporting to .dxf

Hi there

I’m having issue with exporting my 2d draw to .dxf.

For example, if I draw a 10 centimeter square in sketchup web (running Mac), export it to dxf and open it in a dxf file reader —> I get a 12 centimeter square !!!

Could you please help me out ?

Thanks !

SCheisse, its even worst :frowning:

Try with this:

If @dezmo last settings suggestion do not help please share the SKP file and share the DXF file so we can see how you have it setup.

Thank you guys for your help :slight_smile:

Now I’m good with proportions, but I face a new “issue”.

When I draw a circle, I have kind of polygon with many sides, but no real circle.

I thought it was just a “rendering” artefact, so I sent my model into production (its an airplane instrument panel). But unfortunately I got the same polygons in “reality”.

Coud you please help me out with drawing circles ? ^^

Thanks !

Exported correctly as a 3d model to .dxf an entity recognised as a circle in sketchup will produce a true circle in .dxf.

Could you please explain (again i m sorry) how to export correctly ?

If you set the standard view to the most appropriate one, top for example and the camera to Parallel Projection, you may need to use the search icon to find that easily. Then export as 3d and select only edges and you should get a dxf file that is a true circle.
