I am not familiar with flowjetting or CNC although are you drawing a polyline with multiple points possibly in AutoCad and then the flowjet software does not support polylines and is breaking your polyline into multipel line segments?

What software does this Water Jet use? Different devices need different methods. When I used to draw templates for a CNC and Plasma burner, I just had to make sure everything was a "CLOSED" polyline with NO GAPS. By CLOSED I mean actually closed, not just connected, there is a difference. It has been awhile so I do not remember the software that converted.
