I hope that helps or at least gives you some alternatives to try. I'll wager the other app's will be happier if it's a 2D dxf file and making sure it's zipped will help things run smoother. I do round trip DWG translations in/out of sketchup it works fine and is regular part of my workflow. I've detailed the in's and out's in this article (and it's related links on that page) on my website many years ago. If you're using DropZip make sure mac binary is off. HighDesignis the alternative, full-featured 2D computer-aided design (CAD) solution for macOS that combines advanced drafting and design tools with a modern, efficiency-oriented user interface designed to assist the user in all the phases of the creative process. If you're using OS X Make Archive there's no problem. If you're emailing the dxf file it's important to make sure it's compressed as a zip archive before sending. Also make sure to ask what version of DXF the cutter software can handle - if the versions aren't compatible that can also result in the end user's application thinking it's an invalid DXF File. Then export as 2D dxf and check your results. ![]() Try turning off the perspective view and set it to parallel projection and a specific face on side view (left, right, whatever). When I looked at the sketchup file, it was set to perspective view. Some app's might just say it's invalid because of the Z data how they all handle those types conditions is different. ![]() ![]() Some of the cutting machines and many CAD applications are 2D and it's not unusual for a 3d dxf file to come in blank as the Z value is stripped in some translators. It's worth confirming whether the end user on the water jet cutter needs a 2d or 3d file.
