Greetings! Loving the sketch environment but I am having trouble exporting as DXF from anything but the top/bottom plane. Saving Each Plane Separately and sending as zip but when importing to Fusion or Solidworks anything on Front/Back or Left/Right Plane is perpendicular to selected import plane. 🙃

I need to be able to reference at least two planes.

Can’t seem workaround with referenced planes either.  
Please help!

Hi @mere_iron, please can send the already exported DXF file and also the Shapr file to [support@shapr3d.com](mailto:support@shapr3d.com)  
We would like to further investigate the issue and then get back to you as soon as possible.

I’m trying to export a DXF into LightBurn for cutting but I think I’ve got the same problem with planes. Was there a way to fix this, or is there an easy way to take a sketch from one plane and move it to the top/bottom plane?

Never mind - delete the solids and then the sketch rotates just fine.
