Hello all,

I was wondering if any Sketchup pro users out there could provide any insight as to how you manage your Sketchup to DXF workflow in order to get quotes and files to your CNC shop.

The way I imagine things are done is a little tedious and was hoping there are easier ways. I'm pretty new to CNC technologies (and Sketchup really), but Im very eager to learn best practices. I've drawn out my model in 3D in Sketchup using components and have been able to export a (very) rough cutlist as a reference for materials I need to order. Now I want to export each component to scale in 2D as a vector file so I can lay them out in sheets in Adobe Illustrator and export there as a DXF file.

Can anyone give me some insight on their Sketchup to CNC workflow if it is different from mine? (Which I'm sure it is! ).

Thanks in advance!
Joel
