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.

Re: dxf cutting help!
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.

Re: dxf cutting help!
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.
