For those who use BobCAD do you know why and how to fix this problem?

I am cutting a square pocket in copper. This pocket is .18 deep and .375
wide. I already got the pocket milled out but I wanted to go back with an
1/16" end mill and clean the bottom of the pocket. So I made the end mill go
all the way down plus .002". It overlaps it previous path by .010" and it
describes a spiral path starting from the center and going outwards. The
problem is that when it gets to the last spiral path it keeps going and
going and going kinda like the energizer bunny. When I look at the code I
can see all the extra lines that are generating all the extra unnecessary
passes.

What can I do to fix this problem in NCcam. Is there a variable that I need
to change?

Thanks,
Alex
