Is this in Design Space or Manufacture Space, and did you create the drawing in Fusion 360 or import as dxf/svg? If the latter, then please post your file here and I will have a look.
Thanks,
David

I'm going to assume you are asking about the feature selection (contour selection) in the Manufacture space when generating your cut paths. Here is an example where I drew a sample part with many details using Inkscape, saved as dxf, imported to Fusion 360, extruded to thickness, and created cut paths. Note that all features were selected with a single click. I hope this is what you were wanting to know.

Geeez, wish I knew this a long time ago. I had no idea you could simply click on the face to select all contours, going to have to give that try. Thanks for the tip David, I have been clicking them 1 by 1 like an idiot for a long time!

Plasmanewbie - happy to help. They keep changing Fusion 360 so the process is a little bit different than it used to be a few years ago. Just too many "improvements/revisions" - so it's hard to keep up with all of them.
