Setting a 4th axis

I'm trying to configure Fusion 360 to generate a toolpath using a 4th axis. I selected the generic Autodesk 5-axis machine and edited the axes to 4 axes (the last one is A; rotary). When I simulate the toolpath, the spindle rotates around the body rather than the A axis rotating the body. How do I set the machine so the head does not rotate around the A-axis?

 

Thanks,

Muz

At the moment that is how sims are, in the future they will have it looking the same as it would be on a machine.
