No it did not.  Maybe I am not looking in the correct place but it just says "Error - Multiple Commands"

 

This is the beginning of the post that gives the error.

This is the beginning post of a post that worked with no problem.

One out of many differences that I can see is the T value.  I use a good amount of bits so I do not have my library setup with different numbers.  All bits should be T1.  But that said the post that works says T2.  So I am very confused.  

 

Is it the tool parameters that need to be changed?  But I have had successful cuts with this tool.  

 

Also every time I run a program even after I use the top plate on the material it still goes over to the machines touch plate and remeasures it.  I would really like to disable the FTC.  Would this help?  When you are cutting many different parts with different setups FTC it seems not that helpful.  But then again I might not be understanding something.  

 

Thanks for you quick response.  I have  a job half way done and am now stuck because of this error.
