    Newbe needs help with rest mill tool path

    Hi Guys
    Hope someone can help me I am a new MC user using Ver 7 doing a 2D High Speed (2D Dynamic Rest Mill) I have a 2.5 dia hole I am milling it out to be a 2.515 square with .5 radius in the corners.
    When I post out the tool path I get a whole bunch of XY moves on the return path it makes the program very large is there any way to suppress these XY moves and make the program smaller or there a reason for them that I am not seeing.
    Thanks for the help
