This is my first time creating a tool path with Fusion 360, and I am sure i saw this addressed on YouTube but I cannot find it now. The I have a model that is very nearly a circle that is 10 inch diameter. The stock is 12"x12" so there is plenty of room. for the tool bit. What setting in the Setup should I be looking for that is preventing the tool path from doing the entire exterior of the part?

Most likely to be your selection under the Geometry tab or you may have set a "Stock Contour"  that is restricting your toolpath.

 

Best thing to do is upload the file instead of images, no one can check your settings from images.

Go to:-

File > Export > Select f3d format > Save to a location on your computer > Then attach the file to your next reply.

Try it with a 2D Contour instead, works better. File attached.

Thank. I found the issue for this setup in the Geometry and was able to get a tool path that was complete. I will also try the 2D contour as suggested by @Anonymous and see which I may prefer.
