    Not a Mach3 problem.... Mach3 cuts the part in the order the G-code tells it to. You have to open the .dxf in a CAM-program such as LazyCAM, SheetCAM, CamBam etc. You use the CAM-program to select what and how (which contours, in what order, what direction, what feedrate and so on) to cut and it (the CAM program) then generates the G-code that Mach3 runs.
