It's a learning process. I owe a whole lot to this forum learning trips and tricks about Mastercam.
This thread is a great example of making things faster and better.
Thank you eMasterCam forum.
Sorry to hear you lost your toolpaths Sonny.
I try to avoid that by constantly saving my files with different names. ie

In my most honest butthurt opinion, The new verify needed more time in beta.
Ron, you're the best @ putting wasted time into perspective.
I still remember when you said that a minute lost is actually two minutes lost because you could be doing something with the minute you lost in the first place.
That I need to work less and do the programs they make.
But looking at others peoples programs I've learned a few tricks. You should check it out.

Draw two circles. one for the thru hole and one for counter bore.
on the, "Disc" model select the thru hole, create solid, extrude solids, (solid settings) Cut Body, extend through out all.
next select the counter bore, and in the setting select "specified distance"
I got a X5 Solids book for TheeCircle™ members. It should be the same with X7. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it to you.
If the one that runs is from X6 check in in your control configuration that you have both values for arcs the same from your X6 to X7 control config.
