Tool Path Issues

I am not able to generate a tool path after selecting edges.  I imported a .svg file then inserted it into my design which I then extruded to create a body.  I selected all of the edges of this body but when I generate an engraving tool path most of the edges are not being cut.  I also tried a contour tool path but I get the error message "closed contour has zero area".  What do I need to do to be able to generate a usable tool path?  I've attached the f3d file for reference.

Looks like you are not selecting the edges correctly so fusion doesn't see them a closed profiles. Screencast shows how to select closed profiles.

That did the trick!  And I learned another method for selecting edges.  Thanks
