Re: Choseing cut path direction
There is currently no easy way (i.e. through the user interface) to force the orientation of one single circle.
You can force the orientation of all closed contours (including circles) in the export dialog: An advanced possibility would be to assign a custom property to that circle and interpret this property in your configuration to force the orientation of that circle accordingly. This definitely requires some programming in your configuration file though.
