How to cut out a part from inside another part?

Anonymous

So I am trying to set up a CAM program that will allow me to cut internal parts from inside another piece. In other words, to save space on the limited material we have, there are parts that will be cut from the unneeded material that fills other, larger parts.

 

However, if I try to tell the program to create 2D Contours to make this cut, it gives me the error "Error: Failed to generate passes."

 

What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this error? There are no other messages that pop up with that error to give me more context on how to fix it. I have attached the file for reference. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you so much! That worked like a charm. I hadn't thought that would cause an issue as it's one of my default settings for CNC routing, but apparently it did!
