When I edit Bore5 it says you have 2 edges selected, bore only works with surfaces. I don't know how you've selected edges as the op should only allow you to select surfaces, is something changing your selection between exporting the file the opening again?

Edit Sorry looking at wrong op, I looked at Bore5 (2) still something odd there as well.

OK I have found a small problem, the holes are not quite parallel with the Z axis. They are all out by 0.01° so all should fail, but your first part is out 0.01 clockwise and your copies 0.01 the other way.

I've modified the design to use 2 patterns instead of coping and that works. Check the offsets to make sure they're correct.

Something looks a bit odd with the position of the circle in the sketch for the one in the red box.

Looking a bit closer it looks like the holes are tapered and there's some problem with alignment with the Z axis.

I've attached the file with the sketch.

Thanks, I suspected so, but I haven't figured out how to measure angle against a hole.  

 

It may have something to do with importing it using the OpenFileFromWeb add-in.

@HughesTooling Yep you're pretty close, nice catch!

It has something to do with how you positioned the parts when you copy pasted them. I deleted the bodies then re-copy-and-pasted them so that they stayed level and now the toolpath is able to generate without issue.

I attached the file too.

 

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Quick note, thought I should explain how I moved the components.

When copy and pasting, under the Move dialog, I did point to point, and selected the centerpoints and moved them that way (since you already did the hard part of creating the sketch of the positions).
