Hello Michael,

In V27 the system will not automatically detect your stock and extend the path. The easiest way to accomplish this would be to use the Leads option to add some X axis lead-in on your facing cuts, and a Z axis lead in on your turning cuts. see the images below:

PS: the newer software handles this automatically for you :wink:
