Tiling but the job stops after 1 tile

My problem is that the job stops after it finishes 1 tile and then it just says, something to the effect, to shut off the router.

First of all, when I save my toolpaths in VCarve, I selected “Visible Toolpaths to one file.” However VCarve actually makes 3 gcode files. (I will include the VCarve .crv file and the 3 gcode files)

Next is when I load the file into Carbide Motion, I select the first of the 3 files and run the program. After it finishes then I get the message to shut of the router. What I want the program to do is to ask me for the next tile for the job or something like that.

What am I doing wrong?

I’m not familiar with VCarve but wouldn’t you move your work to the next tile spot then send the second gcode file to Carbide Motion?

Yes, it won’t ask you for the next tile. It’s finished with the first tile, now it’s like a new job.
Move the stock, load the next file & cut it as a new file.
