How can one determine the order in which various paths are carved? E.g. is multiple concentric rings are being carved, how can the user ensure that the inner most ring is cut first and then the rest of them from inside out. I have had to resource to tabs in order to keep the parts secured as EASEL sometimes cut the outer parts first leaving the inner parts to be cut at then end which makes it unstable if very thick tabs are not used.

Since you state Easel, you can only control this, as Robert said, by making multiple workpieces and cutting in a certain order.

Easel is designed to automatically cut inner shapes before outer shapes. If you encounter a case where this is not happening, please contact our customer success team.
