# 2D Drawing Import

When you are exporting multiple shapes, you should position the shapes with spacing between the objects on the same plane when exporting as you see on the picture below. To export a 2D file from Rhino / Adobe illustrator, select the shapes you would like to export and follow these steps:

1. From the File menu, click Export Selected or Save As.
2. In the dialog box, the Files of type list displays the currently supported file types for export. Choose .dxf
3. Enter file name and destination

## Manufacturing in Fusion 360

With your object(s) now extruded, you can start creating a manufacturing file for your project. Depending on if you have one or multiple object you would like to manufacture choose either "**Single Object Setup**" or "**Multiple Object Setup"** below.

### Single Piece Setup

If you have a single object to CNC route, you can start here. Press the link "Single Object Setup" below.
