Single Line Engraving & Engraving cut-outs

Good Evening Everyone, need to pick some brains...

 

In the Fusion file you will find a mess of construction and single blue lines, as well as cut out geometry both requiring what I think is the engrave geometry as a first step.

 

Firstly the straight lines. Here my intention is to engrave thin cross-hair type lines into the wood as an indication on exactly where i want the screws to go. Problem is when I select the blue lines that make up the cross-hair they do not constitute a chain so they are not included into the contour selection. Is there perhaps a way that I can carve these lines into the wood without them being a chain?

 

The second issue I found was when I wanted to use the engrave tool to cut 45 deg chamfers onto the cutout geometry before I actually cut it out, gave me some freaky results. The round profiles were not followed, but rather the tool path is that of a diamond shape. I included a circle and a slot in the engrave example I have supplied in the file. Surely if i select a contour, the v-bit should follow that contour?  Mind blowing

 

Anyway Please Help

 

Kind Regards
