You have to extent the bounding box for containing the tool.  I just made it arbitray hoping he would catch onto the  idea of using a containment.  Also adjust the bottom height plane to keep it from making that dive after leaving the part.  I didn't even mess with feeds and speeds, just trying to get a path to generate.

The reason it wouldn't generate properly in the OP's file is that he had not chosen a model or any geometry. I suspected that adding another body into yours would break the toolpath, and I was right:

Without specifying the model in the Setup, the toolpath defaults to whatever model is sitting in your boundary sketch. The only thing I did to this file was create a shaft in the pocket as a new body, hid it (lightbulb) and regenerated the Parallel operation.

 

If one ever wants to program in assemblies (and it really works well in Fusion), the model has to be selected. After that, selecting fixtures can help with collision detection and other issues.
