Hello All.

Long Time, CAD guy. just starting to learn the CAM side of CAD/CAM.

Running RhinoCam. I've created loads of files for our CNC techs to cut. But have very little experience with the CAM. I have a very simple file. It's vector art created in Adobe Illustrator and imported into Rhino.

I am wondering which method of cutting I should use. I want to cut away everything that is white in the attached file. One shows the hatched/surface/objects the other is an outline. In my mind this is simple.

I was thinking I would just do a roughing pass, select my objects and Rhino Cam would carve out everything outside of those shapes...

But RhinoCam seems to ignore the shapes and just rough cut the entire surface instead of going around the paths. So obviously I do not understand all the cutting options.

What is the best way to set this up in RhinoCam?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you. See attached.
