Save As SVG
Digitally signed app
Description
Note: This is the Mac OS release of Save As SVG. For the Windows release, click Win64 near the top of the page (under our logo, where it says OS).
Save As SVG is a powerful Autodesk Fusion 360® add-in that allows users to export sketches as SVG files.
Key Features and Functionality
- Core Functionality:
-
It takes any sketch created within Fusion 360 and converts it into a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file.
- Versatile Applications:
-
The exported SVG files can be used for various purposes, including laser cutting, CNC milling, or other applications that require vector-based graphics.
- Ease of Use:
-
After creating and finishing a sketch, users simply right-click on the sketch in the browser tree and select the “Save to SVG” option.
- Customization Options:
-
Users can modify the line weight and colors for lines representing the different sketch profile types within the exported SVG. Available colors include Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta, White, Gray and Black.
- Face Filling:
-
The plugin offers a “Fill Faces” option, which, when enabled, fills the enclosing faces of a sketch using the selected color settings for perimeter, cutouts, or inset.
- Scale and Compatibility:
-
By default, the plugin creates SVG files at a standard 96 DPI (dots per inch), matching the scale used by Fusion 360, modern applications and browsers. For compatibility with older applications like Adobe Illustrator or Vectric VCarve Pro, a Scale option is provided with alternate DPI settings.
- Beyond Simple Sketches:
-
The plugin handles complex sketches, which may not contain closed loop profiles, with the provided Entire Sketch option. This option ensures that all line vectors of the sketch are included in the SVG export, regardless of their geometric complexity.
In essence, the “Save As SVG” plugin bridges the gap between Fusion 360’s design capabilities and the needs of various fabrication and design applications that utilize SVG files.

Note
Save As SVG is found in the context menu of a sketch object in the browser tree. Right-click on the sketch name to see the context menu
Just what I needed just when I needed it. Thanks!
This add-in does what it says! Very good.
The developer is also very responsive and added a feature I was missing in a day! Love it!
Definitely worth the money.
Was hoping this would take my part face or sketch and create a simple outline of the part so I could generate cuts in CAM. The face had holes and cutouts, so the SVG was a combination of filled geometry for the outer profile and line geometry for the cutouts. For machine path CAM, I just want the lines, curves and splines. No need for the filled geometry. CAM did not like it one bit. Perhaps I didn't have the settings just right, but there should be a CAM export that just gives me line geometry at 0 width.
Sorry for your misunderstanding. This utility, as described in the documentation, will export a Fusion sketch as an SVG file. If the sketch includes cutouts and holes then the SVG file will include those details. An email to support always gets a response and feature requests are always considered. ** Update ** The latest app update provides the capabilities referred to in your feedback comment. The next time you run the app the update will auto download and install. Icarus
Purchased on 3.30 as Fusion 360 was updating APIs so the color function was having issues, but sent 1 email to support and 1 hour later they fixed it plus more!!
Definitely a must have!
Thanks!
Exports a drawing I can import into SheetCAM and then cut with FireControl on my Langmuir Crossfire Pro. The process is to create my design in sheet metal then create a flat pattern. Select the flat pattern and then Create Sketch then Finish Sketch. Right click on the newly created sketch in the flat pattern and select Save as SVG. The SVG can then be imported into SheetCAM. The only thing I would ask for is more sophisitcation when setting the file name. Not sure if it is possible within the Fusion 360 framwork but it would be nice if it opened a file dialog so I could select to overwrite or create a name similar to an existing file. This is a minor issue but a nice to have.
i like this SVG exporter very much but as the updates keep coming it took away something and i don't know how to fix it
i was apple to export the file and import it into my othe program for laser cutting and i was able to do single lines without having to have them in a full "loop" but now when i import them into my other program it reads it as an error and won't import it
please if you adre able to fix this it would be much appreciated
I had same issue with v1.19. Had to go into inkscape and select/ungroup then change line thickness to 1 px before would then work on Laser cutter. Downloaded v.1.20 and now will not work at all. Fusion 360 throws an error 'Error occurred and MapBoards.log was created'. (360 v2.0.9144)
The Add on does exactly what you need it to, in the easiest way possible. Getting help from this creater was 100000000% better than dealing with Fusion 360 support they could take a few lessons from you! Well done! Thank you very much for your help and this fantastic add on!
