Face toolpath from sketch - wont generate.

I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I created a simple sketch, basically a dowel pin.

When I try to create a face tool path, it never generates.

I have Stock set, the stock is in front of the actual profile, so there is stock to be removed.

I don't see a way to actually select any geometry for facing.

Is this a turning job? Can you attach your file?

 

Thanks,

Yes this is a lathe job.
I am sorry, but I do not know how to attach the file. Can you lend a hand?

Edit...I exported as .fd3 and attached this...is this what your looking for?

Can you revolve the sketch a make a solid dowel, its easier to work with solids in turning

Like @s.noke71  said, I revolved the sketch to create a model and then I got a toolpath.

So would this be a bug then for turning, facing using only a sketch?
