Rough Profile toolpath using incorrect parts

I am setting up a toolpath to machine some parts out of plywood on a CNC router. They're simple parts. Here's a link to the CAM Studio

When I create the toolpath "Rough" for the 0.25 inch endmill, I select the bottom loop of each part and set the strategy up as follows:

After generating the toolpath, though, I see a toolpath for completely unrelated parts that involves drilling pockets, not outlining the parts selected.

Questions:

  1. Have I done something wrong here?
  2. Is there a non-obvious trick to getting the right toolpath to be generated?
