Thanks for your trouble.
Ok, I'm not totally out to lunch.
I will digitize something else simpler and give it a go.
Maybe I will see what went nuts.

Re: Digitizing to Fusion 360
Any updates, alternate methods, or progress towards digitizing and bringing into Fusion Fueler1?

Re: Digitizing to Fusion 360
I have not read the whole thread, but with much anguish I figured out how to successfully take the digitized file into AutoCad 2010 via Fusion 360. If there is interest, I can try to put together some visual instructions. Ultimately it was not hard to do.
Basically I take the digitized file from CNC11 and import it into Excel and save it as a .CSV file. Import the .CSV file into Fusion 360. Once it loads (can take a while depending on file size) I then save it as a .DXF file that I then open in AutoCad. I suppose you can save it as a .DXF file as is to generate code if you don't care to clean it up - you have the option to save in .DWG format.
I don't do this very often and have to re-teach myself every time I do it.

Re: Digitizing to Fusion 360
This was my first attempt when I was learning. It was a hole I digitized in a steel block I had - just to play with. Its in AutoCad,, but I imported it into AutoCad from Fusion 360.

Re: Digitizing to Fusion 360
I put some instructions together in PDF. Now I can remember how to do it without relearning it every time!

Re: Digitizing to Fusion 360
Cool, Always good to see how others approach / complete things.
F360 does struggle with point / spline import for sure.
