lead-out not successful-check cut position

[MILLRUNNER]

I'm trying to program am open contour for a wire edm, and when I chain my geometry and hit done I get the message "lead-out not successful-check cut position"

 

The wire will enter the part in a certain place and then exit the part and run for a little bit - maybe .100" past the part and stop. I have my geometry drawn like that.

 

It is basically an incomplete chain. just a line I want the wire to follow that goes through a part and out the other side.

 

What is causing me to get this error message, and what can I do to make it take the chain?

 

I'm running and older version of 8.1 on this pc just for a specific machine.

I dont have experience w/ 8.1 but could it be when you chain the geometry choose line and turn cutter comp off?
