We’re pleased to announce that we’ve released two new features to all Easel users today:
Project Archiving
This feature lets you download a ZIP archive of your project to your local computer for safekeeping. You can read more about this feature and how to use it here:
DXF Import
This feature lets you import files in a format saved by popular tools such as AutoCad, Fusion 360 and more directly into Easel without having to convert them yourself. You can read more about this feature and how to use it here:
Thanks to all the community members who participated in early access testing of these features and helped us get them ready for release. You were a huge help!
I’m not sure why that would happen. Could you please contact help@inventables.com and provide more details about your project, what type of computer and operating system you are using, and which download option you selected (current workpiece or all workpieces). Thanks!
For those who use Fusion 360, here’s an [admittedly old] discussion of how to prepare DXF files from your projects:
This does bring up a question, though: DXF format includes curves; will Easel still be converting those into steps/lines, or does Easel now allow for curves?
We support importing DXF files with curves (just like we do with SVG files). Easel will still convert curves into small segments when generating g-code.
The project isn’t mine it was one I found on the Inventables project page. I just wanted to try the export feature. I guess the author must have imported the g-code from another program.
