Gurus,
I have created a custom cycle (FLOTAP) for flow tapping on a 3axis
machining center. An example of my cl file can be seen below:

Unfortunately I cannot post process the above cl file. When I try to
post process I am getting the message:
**Error** in conversion check LST file
If I change the command from CYCLE/FLOTAP...... to CYCLE/TAP ........
then everything is working fine.
What is the problem here? Am I missing something?
TIA
