Carbide Create Mirroring dxf Files

When I try to import a dxf file into carbide from Fusion 360, it mirrors my sketch. For example I have this dxf file:

but then carbide gives me this:

All the holes are mirrored across the centerline.

Anyone have a solution?

Which view are you using in Fusion 360?

Which face are you exporting?

I’m projecting the front face and then exporting the sketch as a dxf

I am curious, why are you exporting from Fusion 360 into carbide Create?

I’m just not that familiar with Fusion’s CAM software and feel more comfortable with Carbide

Gotcha. I will do the same for quick simple 2d project, only I use Vectric’s Vcarve Pro. I haven’t had the mirroring issue. I assume you can delete the elements you don’t need in Carbide Create, but it’s still unexpected.

Please drop your DXF file into the thread - Id like to take a look.

In the meantime, I just drew a similiar shape in F360 and didn’t have an in issue with the import:

This is what I drew:

His holes weren’t evenly spaced, and your’s are. If you mirror your image, it wouldn’t be noticeable.

I thought his holes were evenly spaced, but his orientation is was rotated.

Either way, I’ve added an asymetrical feature and tried again - same result:
