Need help creating toolpath for a simple pocket

Hello, I'm a new user and stuck trying to rout a simple pocket.  I'm creating a simple guitar bridge for practice and successfully created tool paths to profile the top and drill the peg holes but got stuck trying to rout the saddle slot.  The slot (.09") is wider than the bit (1/16 or .0625).

I receive warnings that there are no passes to link and there is an empty toolpath.  I'd be grateful f someone could identify the problem and provide a solution.  It's probably something very simple..... The file is attached.

You have .02 radial and axial stock to leave (on the Passes tab). Reduce that to a value lower than feature width + lead-in/out values.
