Issue with 4-Axis CAM Simulation in Fusion 360 - Machine Rotates Instead of Turret

Hi everyone,I'm new to 4-axis CAM in Fusion 360, working with a rotational 4th axis on a CNC router. I've set up Fusion 360 and tried adjusting the simulation, but when I load the machine and run the simulation, the entire machine rotates instead of just the turret where the workpiece is mounted. I've tried multiple configurations in Fusion 360 to fix this, but nothing has worked so far. I need help figuring out what’s going wrong. I've attached a video showing the issue and uploaded the file where the error occurs. For reference, the machine configuration was based on this: denford router 2600 pro-a axis.mch; .Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

It seems to be a problem with Machine, how its been setup.
To check and correct it
Please follow the steps below :
Goto >> Machine Library >> Locate and select the Machine >> Open the Machine Builder

It's strange because I'm using a default Autodesk machine that, in theory, should be perfectly configured. I'm attaching the test file to see if you can detect my error.

I´ve seen in your video that you have set the viewpoint to "Model", when you set it to "Machine base" you should get the desired behavior.
