In the event that someone else is, or will be, struggling with the same issue...
Ran into a Designer quirk (both in 1.153 and 1.162) whereby I was unable to highlight a vector, followed by "Select Bit", and apply the 1/16" Straight bit, as the bit did not appear in the list.
After much fumbling around, it just so happened I also had a drill operation as part of the MPC (see attached). Only after the following roundabout sequence does the 1/16" Straight bit appear in the "Select Bit" list, allowing it to be applied to a vector:
* Double click on the drill hole, bringing up the "Drill Tool" dialog. At this point, select the 1/16" bit, and click "OK".
* Select the drill hole, and make another copy of it (ie, copy and paste via Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V).
* Only now, when highlighting the vector followed by "Select Bit", does the 1/16" Straight bit appear.
