Tabs and g code

Hi everyone.
My issue today is cutting a circular shaped panel with 4 holes.
The cutting order is incorrect, it is cutting the outside shape first then the holes.
The tabs will work on the holes but not the outer shape, so I cant hold the panel with tabs and get a round holes.

I have reloaded redrawn re gcoded but for some reason wam thinks cutting the outside is logical.

And I do have the latest software.

Is there an answer to this issue.

A poor workaround can be to cut with two files the first the inner circle then the second outer circle.

do you have a picture of what you are cutting in WAM? I’ve cut something similar before and never had the order be wonky like that.

Hi yes the fist one with the issue was file marked tilley.
Today same issue with another file GT40.
Same issue on both, it cuts out the main profile before cutting all the holes.

I’ve had to modify the gcode, basically cut and paste to rearrange the cut order so that the outer shape is cut last. It’s relatively simple. I usually use NC Viewer // GCode Viewer and Machine Simulator.
