Hey Les,
I’m not exactly sure where the problem is here, but something is going on with the copy/move contours. Here’s what i did…
- import drawing to part, 2) copy contours to 3 separate new parts, 3) nest parts, 4) move each contour from 3 new parts back to the original part, 5) attempt to create operation for the original part now with 4 sets of contours.
An error came up saying some paths were not generated correctly and there is a problem with the drawing.
End goal here is an attempt to cut 4 parts with one pierce in order to reduce processing time on thick plate. Using the “max chain length” option in the operations window. Problem occurs with or without chain length.
Sorry, I missed this post. Do you still have the job file?
I just ran some tests and couldn’t replicate the problem. Could you send me the dawing you used.
Here’s the job file and the dxf of the original part.

This highlighted a curious long standing bug in part of my path code. I’m really surprised this bug hasn’t caused other issues. It will be fixed in the next release.
I’m curious what the bug affected because I have noticed little quirks along the way but nothing that was reproducible or caused a straight up failure to generate a path until this.
It affected the way the paths were described internally. If it affected anything it would be the post processor.
