Creation of gcode file fails

After CAM processing my stp file and successfully running a simulation, I'm getting a failure when creating the gcode file.  A file is created with the .fail extension.  When I open the file, there are a few lines of gcode, then the message:!Error: Failed to post data. See log for details.  I don't see any log anywhere to indicate what's the problem.  Also, I've found that if I forget to save a file, if I try to process and create gcode, Fusion 360 just crashes with no indication that maybe I should have saved the file first.  Rather that saving to the cloud, I'm exporting everything I do as f3d files.  I was able to successfully do all this in the past, but now using the same settings, I can't successfully create the gcode file.  What's up with all this?  I'm processing for the Othermill pro.

Your setup and the toolpaths use a different orientation, it thinks it posting 4th axis code out, fix that and it works.
