dxf cutting help!

IT has been over a year since I programmed and set up my first and only cut job.
I now have another set up to do and can't get plasmacam to select the lines in the correct order.

I have a simple .875 dia. arc with a lead in line .15" long. No matter what I have done, the machine selects the beginning of the arc, traverses if in CCW direction and then does the lead in line!!

I even re-drew the file to begin with the lead in line and then draw the arc.

I don't know which version of software you're using but if you're importing a cut path that you've drawn in another program and you need to reverse the direction:

In Design Edge - select the path and then choose Edit from the menu and Flip Direction or just press Ctrl-J

In 3.xx versions - The only way I know of to do this would be to mirror it if that can work.

It is starting at the junction of the lead in line and the arc, cutting around the arc and then cutting the lead in line.

Send me the PCM file to Robert@490Creations.com that has the cut path please. What version software?
