Kiri:Moto help

I am new to CAD and CAM.  I have a MaslowCNC.  So basically I am just working with 2D designs on plywood.  I have been able to generate G code with kiri:moto and use that to make parts with my MaslowCNC.   However I have run into some issues that I need help with.   

1. Is is there a way to place tabs around the part? Inside and outside? The tab feature only seams to work on the outside of the part but not on the inside of the part (example of cutting out a pocket or circle).

2.  I have attempted to make some signs using OnShape, but when I go to generate g code is doesnt route out the pocket or plunge a hole.  
See pictures below.  

  



Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated 

James

    Hi, I can't speak for KM but could the problem with the centre parts not being machined away be down to selecting a profile toolpath rather than a pocket toolpath?
