Looks like you have to renumber the tools. Each tool must use a different number and the post processor must support automatic tool changes.

All 3 tools in the file are assigned as Tool number 1.

Are you putting a check mark in 'output all visible toolpaths in one file' and then putting a checkmark on the two toolpaths using the 1.25 90v?

It works for me in your file, but I seem to have to check the 'output all visible toolpaths in one file' checkbox each time I open or create a new file - seems like 3.1 kept it checked.
