Need Help! Bad contour error - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I am using Machine>Profile to cut a contour, but when I push F3 I get the error "Bad Contour, Including Self-Intersection." Do any of you know what this means, and how to resolve it (V21.5.3).
Thanks

Check the chain you are using as the profile for any kind of overlapping entities or loops. These are the situations that create the error you are indicating.
