Intersecting 2D contour toolpath

[gms1]

Hey folks I got a question thats been bugging me lately. I uploaded a file called CONTOUR1.mcx to the FTP (ftp://www.ppcadcam.com/Mastercam_forum/MCX_MR2_or%20Earler_Files/) This contour has an intersecting line in the toolpath and for the life of me I cant find an option in the chaining to make it follow the entire chain. When it gets to the point that intersects, it breaks off. I want it to follow the entire chain. Is there a setting I can use that will let me do this? Or do I have to keep doing what im doing with extra geometry creation?

turn off "optimize" under compensation direction

Doesn't work. I use wear comp as well so as a default the optimize checkbox is greyed out. When I put it control comp it still doesn't finish the chain.
