Hi Chris,

Can you send a screenshot of what you're trying to cut? as well as the Drawing file you're working on? Also what version of FastCAM Are you using?

When in Silhouette mode, it will not path the external contour, but should still path any internal ones.

Hi Chris,

Try switching it back to Normal mode then. If you are trying to cut a square, then you likely need to keep the external cuts as well.

Also here is a good selection of useful guide that might help:
