Custom parts
Export the manufacturing sketch, not a drawing sheet full of dimensions and borders.
1. Create the flat profile
Identify the sketch containing the intended outline, or create a sketch on the relevant planar face. Project the necessary edges when needed. Check that the outer boundary and cutouts form complete loops. Remove geometry that is not part of the cut, including accidental duplicate projections.
2. Export the sketch
Finish the sketch and locate it in the browser. Right-click and choose Export DXF; older versions may label the command Save As DXF. Where the export dialog offers units and visible-geometry options, choose the intended output. Save the DXF with a clear part and revision name.
3. Verify the file
Open the DXF in a viewer or import it into a new sketch. Check orientation, a known dimension, and the number of contours. Mirrored asymmetric geometry, construction lines, and duplicate edges can create an unexpected part even when the file opens successfully.
4. Upload at the intended scale
Choose the correct source units in KRC’s laser workflow and compare the displayed overall dimensions with the design. Use a 1:1 export as the starting point. Scaling a finished profile also scales hole sizes and joint clearances, so it is not a substitute for revising functional geometry.
