Welcome.

You really need to attach the file you're using to get 100% correct help but that message is telling you the problem.

There are many causes such as having a tool defined differently to what you expect, errors with vectors and sometimes it's just telling you that there is no point in using a smaller bit as the larger bit has already done the work.
