I’m not sure this is version specific, so I won’t blame it on any particular release.
It appears that having tabs implemented in a job changes the selected item to “non-outside” in that the inside circle is ignored during the “cut insides first” aspect.
To be less confusing, I have a part on which tabs are placed. The part has a circular hole in the center. Unless I put the circular hole on its own layer, it cuts after the outer perimeter of the part is cut. I suspect that this is because the tabs change the closed shape to an open one.
Is this an accurate representation? Is this an expected behavior?
Is there a work-around to prevent the requirement of creating an additional layer for the inner shapes?
I’ll have to double check that my shapes are truly closed, which isn’t a certainty. They were generated by Inkscape’s extension and I may have neglected to close the constructions. I only thought of that aspect as I read your reply. I try to join all the Inkscape builds, but may have forgotten for this one.
