How to avoid entering step out from the path while milling?

At the beginning of the path (just before the cutter enters material) the cutter steps out (makes a few millimeters offsets) from the entering point of the cutting path. I guess there is some mistake in the settings. Photos are below. How can I avoid it?

Looks like typical lead-in. In you case you would probably want to disable it, or activate it above the part and then ramp down to depth. Check your Lead-In settings under the Linking tab.

And if that doesn't solve your issue, could you share your Fusion file here? This issue should have been shown in the Simulation, and if it didn't, we would want to investigate to see if there is a bug in the system

Thank you for the rapid responses! That doesn't look like a system bag - we can see the path in the simulation (the PrintScreen is below), and there are "curves" at the places I mentioned.
Unfortunately, I didn't find settings for this. Please, could you specify in what menu and what parameter should I change?

Thank you soo much for the quick response! As you suggested, the problem is in the parameters of the program - we can see that the cutter repeats exactly what is in the program, so I need change something there (the print screen is below).
Could you help with finding the parameters I need (in what menu and what parameter) - didn't find such settings.

I'm assuming you are using 2D Contour. Open up the toolpath parameters and go to the "Linking" tab. The fields you are looking for are in "Leads & Transitions"

Be aware, if you are using cutter compensation, you will not be able to omit those lead-in/out moves.
