Help with milltronics generic post giving large radius in middle of programming

i have had this issue several times in the past.. just need to get it over with and fixed.

 

i have a part im taking a 2d contour to the outside perimeter right now, it steps down .125" i think all the way down the thickness of the part.. about halfway through each pass the program somehow generated a 20~" diameter circle that it cuts then continues on the proper path.. just out of nowhere, but does it every pass. i originally had this toolpath ramping, and it did it then too. 

 

tried removing lead ins and lead outs, got rid of cutter comp.

 

long story short i found what i think is a problem line in the code screenshot that, as well as a view of the toolpath, red line to visualize the big circle its making, but wont show up in F360.

 

its gotta be the post..

 

going to try to add smoothing to it to see if that fixes it.

f360 project is attached below.

Just turned Smoothing on and got it to work.. would still be interested in seeing about getting my post altered if anyone is up to the task. the only change i made to my post already was remove an x move a the end of a program. but i dont have a clue how to dig into something like this.
