Tool Path order for CNC plasma

[Anonymous]

I am cutting 18g stainless with my CNC plasma cutter and the tool path generated zig zags all over the material as it cuts out parts.  I would like to have it cut in order from one end to the other in order.  When it moves all over, by the time it returns to an earlier cut area the heat has warped the materials and I a having issues.

Do you have a part you can share?

Chances are, this is going to require a manual selection of your contours and selecting the "Preserve Order" option.
