    Bobcad Lathe V24

    So im new to bobcad and using lathe V24, i have all the tools working fine except for the facing. I put it in turning mode the part is drawn at top right. i only use half the drawing. i choose facing when asked for turning or facing, select face of the part for geometry selection. when it shows tool path it only cuts halfway down the face.
    or 1/4 the part at this point. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong please?
    and/or explain the steps briefly.

    Thank You

    Use the lead in and lead out to extend the tool-path. Post the file if you can.
