Thoughts?
If you break the code into two parts you can eliminate this problem.
Part 1: Cut down to the level of the tabs.
Part 2: Cut from the tab level to the bottom of the material.
I have Vcarve Pro 6.5 and this was easy to do. The only wasted move then was going back to clearance height before running the second part. This point is easily located and can be edited out of the code if necessary. The combined files are attached.
