Make sure your time signature is 6 x eighth note, not 2 x dotted
quarter. Or use Utilities | Rebeam to Time Signature to accomplish this.
In Finale these days it seems we have a choice -- if we want 3 8ths
beamed together we need to choose 2 x dotted quarter, but this also
forces 8ths in a half-measure to be beamed even when separated by an 8th
rest. Or we can select 6 x 8th note but then we don't get any of the
8th notes beamed, even if we want them to be.
So the best I can suggest is to select whichever meter is going to help
more of the time and correct what's needed by hand each time (it's only
a single key stroke to break those beams over the 8th rest).
It's too bad in the Document Options dialog under Beaming there isn't an
option to break 8th-note beams over a rest in 6/8 time.
Yet another option for us to lobby MakeMusic for! Yippee!
