Turning a radius on a lathe

I have a CNC lathe and am having problems putting a radius or chamfer on the end of a piece of aluminium bar. The bar when turned down is 36.50mm and the z xero position is at the end of the bar. |I am trying to use the conversational programming in V5.08. The graph shows the radius the wrong way or not on the part. When i change x end to 36.5mm it will not mive the radius. Can anyone give me the conversational figures so that i can understand it.
