How to do circular milling in Bobcad 18?

HI, I'm trying to figure out which cam software to get.
I'm playing with Bobcad 18, and I can't figure out how to mill out a
simple circle.

Bascially, I just want to be able to cut a 2" hole in some stock
with an end mill. I want to ramp into the cut, rough it out then
take a full depth (.5) finish pass.

Any advice? I don't see an option for circular cutting anywhere. The
closest I see is pocketing, but thats not quite right.

Thanks,
