Toolpath Bug in Contour 2D Causing wavy roughing path.

whenever I set the roughing stepover equal to or less than .2mm I get this. Additionally when I set the roughing passes to greater than .2mm the last roughing pass is unequal (takes a bigger cut) to the other roughing passes. This is clearly a bug.

Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Change your Smoothing Deviation to a number equal to or greater then your Maximum Stepover to solve your toolpath wavyness.  You also have a lot of collisions if you run a Simulation.

 

Edit: Sorry I addressed it to myself, fat fingered that one.
