Have you included those vectors when creating the toolpaths? When you save the toolpaths they will generate for each tile if you click the Output Tile option at the top of the Save Toolpaths dialog.

Ok
here is what I am doing
Generate toolpaths for the total project wall ( run separate toolpaths for holes and another tool path for profiling)
after that I click tile toolpaths , save toolpaths / output tollpaths is alraady checked and output all visible toolpaths in one file is checked.
what i am missing hear
do i have to check on each generated toolpath separete at the etoolpaths lest before clik on save? since we have two types of operations ( drilling and Profiling?)
Thx
