Fusion360 Cutting

When under the manufacture/cutting section of Fusion360. When I try and set what I want cut it will only highlight small portions of the continuous line I want cut. So rather than just setting one long cut I’ll have to select multiple sections of the drawing. This is mostly on imported drawings. Does anyone have any tips or solutions to this?

Thanks in advance for any input.

This is usually due to line segments that are either not connected or overlap. I have run into this before. I have to go back to the design tab and zoom in really close, sometimes you can find the problem area and fix it other times it is so small it is not visible. This happens a lot to me when I use the text function on fusion. You can also section off parts of the design by drawing a line across to narrow down where the problem is. Hope this helps some, this problem can be frustrating

I find making the drawing 3d with the Press/Pull function makes selecting cuts much easier as you can just select the body and Fusion knows what is an inside vs outside cut.

Thanks, that makes sense and I’ll try that!
