Your circle consists of a lot of line segments obviously not welded.

What looks like one circle are two overlaying circles. Try to delete one of them and your problem should be gone.
Richard

Edit: Seem to be even 21 overlaying circles !!

I suppose you have a G2 or G3 in one of the lines before the line creating the error message.

G2 / G3 is modal and stays in effect until it is changed.

Add a G00 or G01 in front of the Z move and see what happens.

Thanks Les,
you were right : Min 0.01mm and Max 12mm made it work :D
And the cut ordering optimisation works like a charm - from left to right the bottom points and from right to left the top points. PERFECT!

Thanks,

I can't test it but what would be the result if the z-values created with the v carve module would be inverted from minus to plus ?

How would this look-alike ?
