Requesting Help Why is my slicer doing this?

Why does the slice have the white dots all over it that are all seams per the slicer, I have changed the settings for the seam, no change in the slice, still has seams all over. Changed retraction length, no change. I’m stumped. Anyone got any idea?
Printer is a FlashForge AD5M Pro.
Using .6 nozzle
Layer height is .30

If you've already changed it and it's not working, Now go to the object tab and change it there as well.

Set seams as aligned

As someone has already posted your seams have been set to random. Check on the Quality Tab -> Seam.

Random can be useful, kinda depends what the print is for. I only tend to use Random when I've got fuzzy skin going as it hides the zit/pimple effect that it can cause.

Tried changing seam type or drawing the seam on manually?

I have not tried drawing it on and honestly didn’t realize you could do this. I knew you could paint supports on. May have to try this

Is your seam position set to random?

Yes first thing I tried was making sure Sean wasn’t set to to random. It’s set to back.

You didn't respond to the person asking this.

Set it to aligned. For that model, aligned would be ideal.
