Missing tool path dxf... bit should not be the problem

Just check whether there are parts of the design that still aren’t being carved. There aren’t many, but there are some areas in the file that @NeilFerreri1 posted which will not be carved even with the 1/16" detail bit. You can see this by simulating the design, clicking on the vertical ellipsis at the bottom-right of the preview area, removing the check from Material and Toolpaths, and check the Uncut Areas checkbox (this option only shows up when there are toolpaths which the currently selected tools will not be able to carve). The toolpaths that will not be carved will show up as red and are easy to see with the material and regular toolpaths that will be carved hidden. They are in the upper-left and upper-right areas of the design.

I would upload an image of what I am talking about on the design, but …

So, here is another post where I showed how the “Uncut Areas” looks.

Remove small dashes

Another tip prior to starting the carving process is to hit the Simulate button and then the vertical ellipsis. Uncheck the “Toolpaths” checkbox and check the “Uncut Areas” checkbox. This will show you all the areas the current bit/bits combination cannot get to due to their size being too large. Here is what it would look like: [Capture] Also, as mentioned by @PhillipLunsford, if you have not moved the stock then you can recarve with a smaller bit that fits into those positions. You woul…

This design that @NeilFerreri1 posted would lend itself very well to V-Carving. If you change the detail bit to a 60-Degree V-Bit and regenerate the detail view you will see what I mean.
