I cannot generate a correct contour for the attached file. It is possible to generate inner contour for the two holes, but the outer contour to cut the object as the second step does not work. Nor did I find a way to get a single toolpath that cuts the holes inside and the object on the outside as the QCAD/CAM tutorial seems to be suggest.
For the second path, I cannot find a command that will just unselect the holes. I can get the right selection by inverting the object selection (starting with selected holes), but then the contour generation runs endless, the only way to stop the process is to kill the QCAD job.
This is the 64 bit Linux version 3.24.3.0.
By the way, where are the presets of the Cam Profile Tool, so that I can make a default setting relevant to the material I use?
Thanks for help
Regards, Robert

Have you tried the selection / deselection options below Menu/Select?
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

Re: (SOLVED) Problem generating the correct contour
Thanks Husky,
Copying the model to a new file and starting at the inside of the holes solved the problem.
Remains my question: can I modify the presets of the Cam Profile Tool, to adjust for the material I mostly use?
