Ok, so there are some gotchas with using sketches.

- You can't mix sketch geometry and model geometry. Seems like you should be able to do this, although if you're going to use a sketch you're probably going to make it complete so that it can drive all the tool path by itself. So maybe this isn't really a big deal

- If you use a sketch, make sure to hide the model so that you don't accidentally select some model entities instead of sketch entities.

- There are some bugs with sketch selection with open contours.
-- If you try to select the entire sketch from the feature tree you don't get any arrows to flip the side to machine.
-- If you need to select multiple entities it won't select them as a single chain (meaning if you click an entity and then click it again to edit the chain, it won't let you select any more entities). You have to select each entity as it's own chain. As it turns out it will still generate a path but the selection process is a bit confusing since it's not quite the normal way of doing things.


What you should see is a single path and arrow like such:

But instead what you get is this:
