Using Inkscape with Cutters/Plotters SVG file generated is not a continuous cut

    Good morning

    I have an issue with a fish I am trying to cut for a customer order. Normally when I convert files to an SVG the cut is one continuous line however this one is not. The waterjet cuts the object but stops and starts at different places. I am a new user of Inkscape and am unsure how to resolve this issue. I would be happy with the fish cutting this way but it is causing the beard on the fish to break(see screenshot). This is the only file that has ever done this. Is there anything that I can do here? My code is attached because it is so long. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'd use Path>Break Apart to show the disconnections. Then, I'd undo the break-apart and join the nodes at the breaks.

     

    (There are a few more breaks than the ones I demonstrated.)
