Hello @Anonymous - I took a look at your part and fixed what I understood. Please take a look at the attached file and let me know if this is what you need.

One thing to keep in mind, on Profile, if you don't want the tool diving in, make sure Grooving is set to "don't allow grooving"

Facing won't dive in and that is what I used. You also don't need to use patch to cover a hole using these methods.

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! My apologies for the late response. I found that adding a Tool Clearance Angle (as described in this article) worked to straighten out the toolpath. I hope this helps!

ya every time i try that it makes my path red ? any ideas with that ? can you do the "do not groove" to my part and send it to me ? the part attached does the "face" then "chamfer-profile" ... i wanted to do chamfer and then face in one path with "profile" .... well thats what i was trying to do .. thank you ! 

the video Paul posted worked perfectly ! 

[Anonymous]

thank you ! that worked 

any ideas why the "sketch" "patch" or anything other ways dont work ?

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for the response - I'm glad the tool clearance angle worked! To be honest, I am unsure of why the patch won't work on your part - I ran some tests on my end and found that the sketch and patch workarounds did not appear to be working in a new file I created as well. I've logged a ticket for the CAM development team to look into this behavior - thank you for bringing it to our attention!

While this is addressed, specifying a small tool clearance angle should help you work around this behavior in any file.
