How to keep the nozzle inside the model perimeter while traveling or do the shorter travel
New Orca user here, been using Cura before switching and I find the same problem on both. When I slice a model that has separated wall loops (like holes) the nozzle makes long travels across the model, oozing and stringing along the way, while I would like it to always stay inside the perimeter of the printed part or to travel the shorter amount to jump between wall loops. I know I should recalibrate the printer but that's beyond the point of the question.
I already checked Avoid Crossing Walls and the seams are on Nearest but that doesn't work
In these pictures you can see that the nozzle makes long travels while it should travel the nearest distance (the hole) instead.
How do I solve this?
