I've started created files of items I want to cut out with contain a number of say 30 elements. With the "set cutting property" I move the element in my preferred order to the right column and click Ok. Than when I run the simulation, it is not following the cut order at all. Can't say yet if it would do the same on the actual machine as this is being shipped next week (than an anxious 8 week wait for it to arrive :D )
Have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks,

Ron

That was it, thank you sir.
I've been looking through all the menu items at the top and tried a few things with "cut optimize" never saw the "path optimize" at the bottom right of the screen till now.
I've got lots to learn.

We all do Ron. After a while you know the first 30 or 40 things to check.
