I've been working with a few smoothing profiles by manually clicking on them.
But today I wrote them into each program and it seems the first call for "Contouring Router" worked fine--but it failed to switch to my own "1/8 Fine Finish" named program--as the detail wasn't there.
I am trying to figure out what happened and have the start of both programs as an example. I reran the finishing program after manually clicking and saving the profile I wanted to use--the second time I saw the significant detail I wanted.
I have 15+ hours of use and a few programs so far--so I can see it's not switching over and am wondering if it's simple such as the / in the custom profile name.
This seemed to run very smooth and fine for a roughing program:

(Eventually roughs material quickly and smoothly)

(Eventually runs parallel pass program here, etc)
Could the / in the name be the issue?
I know it will reject an incorrect name and not run the program--so I'm trying to understand what's going on here.
