Unable to control toolpaths.

[phalanxconcealment]

Hello, 

I'm new at Fusion and I was wondering if you could help me with issue I'm having. 

My issue is with the toolpath setting, and the order in which they're cut. Fusion use to cut all the details with in the design first, and then cut the profile path last. Now it's cutting the profile path first, and then all the details within the design last. This presents a problem because I'm cutting with a plasma cutter CNC, and on smaller pieces cutting the profile first causes the part to fall into the table water and there is no part present to cut the details of the design. I've been trying to resolve this issue for about a week now, and I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Even the designs I made in the past that cut out perfect are now cutting the profile first and then the details second. How do I control which toolpath is cut first and so on? Thank you for your time. Alan

Hi,

Use "Preserve order" in the passes tab. This will cut profiles in the order they were selected.

Thank you for your response; however, this is not working either. I use to be able to use Face Contours and it would cut the entire design perfect. It's not working now. I've used closed chain and individually selected the letters and profile, and used "Preserve order", and it still goes straight to cutting the profile first. I've created a new sketch and went through the entire process again, and still getting the same results. Cutting the profile first. 

Do you have another suggestions? Thank you!

I use separate operations to help control this

Problem fixed. I contacted Fusion and through multiple back and forth emails the issue was fix. It was operator failure. I had the slide button to the left of center on the simulation, when it should have been to the right of center. Giving me the wrong toolpath sequence. Thank you to all who offered help. Much appreciated. Thank you!
