Cut order?

[JAnimis]

I am new to everything CNC, so I'll probably have a bunch of simple questions. At the moment I am trying to setup to plasma cut a simple part in BobCAD. The problem I am having is figuring out how to set the feature cut order. When I compute the toolpath I can't get it to cut all the interior features (holes) before cutting the perimeter. I know there must be something simple that I'm missing, but none of this is intuitive to me.

You must tell BOB what you want cut first and what last.

Thanks. I had been selecting all the objects at once.

There is also an option somewhere that allows you to choose to cut based on feature order or by tool order. I am assuming with a plasma torch you are choosing tools...if you go by feature order it will populate the post processor script from top/first to bottom/last.
