Does anyone know how to download and transfer a drawing in the free version of Fusion 360. Every time ai try it, it says I have to purchase the full version. I am an absolute beginner at this so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Instead of using the Save dialog export it as a Fusion 360 Archive. It’s the only option to save your projects on the free version if you use up the 10 free project spaces, which they do not allow you to delete. the drawing as an archive. Alternatively you can work on some of the files in blender or freecad and save them locally and just use fusion 360 as a tool to facilitate the plug-in for the arcdroid. I ahve to feel on some level there may be some leeway in being able to do it with FreeCad but that is one of those things that Andrew would probably have to chime in on, or someone with a lot more combo of arcdroid and freecad experience. I have little to none overall and am just an amatuer, lol.

Go to manufacture, down load the post processor, then save it as a gcode using the post processor.
Happy days.
Someone on facebook has suggested if you right click on your drawing and save you can save it as a DXF. I have yet to try this out. I know that’s how i’ve saved a mesh for 3d printing.

I’ve used Fusion and created gcodes, or used free version of solidedge and saved direct as dxf.
