Sorry for the delay in replying. Go to Options->job options->nesting and select ‘minimise tool changes’. This will make it mark the holes first.

There’s a Sheetcam JOB file in the attached zip folder. It’s a very simple cut for illustrating this problem.
I drew a disc with a small hole in the middle. Import into Sheetcam. In Sheetcam I put the small hole on a separate layer and use a drill operation on this layer to mark the hole centre, all good.
The outer circle is on the other layer and I apply a normal cutting operation.
With just the one part, the hole centres are marked and then the outer cut is done, all good.
Here’s the problem: when I want to cut multiples of this part, whether I use copy, duplicate, multiple duplicate, or array, I cannot get the parts to complete one at a time, i.e. mark hole centre & cut outline on part 1, then move to part 2 and repeat. Instead Sheetcam wants to do all hole marking on every part before starting ANY outside cuts.
Can Sheetcam not do this. Tried selecting " ;Keep Parts Together" in the cutting operation, but obviously this won’t help seeing as the hole marking is in drill operation.
