You must set the Tool Change Location correctly in the Options > Posting pages for the simulation of 4th-axis indexing parts to be accurate.
Note: This does not affect the NC code, only the graphics.
The distance from the Stock Axis origin to the Tool Change Location must be long enough so that the tool clears the part as it rotates. The images below (with the Tool Change Location marked by an arrow) show the circle that would be formed by sweeping a tool change location around the stock axis. Notice that this circle clears the entire part.
