Has anyone else run into issues with Auto Configuration/ "Couldn't JumpTo Target"?

Hey all, I am a new RS user, and I have been able to get my paths to work for the first day I work on them and whenever I reopen the project it seems to never want to let me auto configure a new path despite it working the day before. It is throwing the warning "AutoConfiguration: Couldn't JumpTo Target_70 from previous position. You should check configuration on target". I have messed with the configuration, and nothing seems to change. Let me know if I am doing this wrong or if there is a better resource for answering this question.

There is a small amount of trial and error. You will not always be able to use the auto configuration option. Below are a few of the reasons it might fail in the order of likely hood for your situation.

1. The robot joints are hitting a limit due to the configuration of the starting move. Changing the configuration of the starting move and rerunning auto configuration might fix it.

2. The robot is passing through singularity. Switching key movel's to movej's might fix the problem. 

3.  Your workobject/tcp changed and your robot can no longer reach. 

As I said auto configuration will not always work and sometimes you have to change each motion to the correct configuration. Look a the configuration value of the move prior to target 70 and compare it to target 70. If there is a massive change to the joint value that means the robot cannot do those motions in a straight line due to singularity or joint limits.

Thank you, I appreciate the advice. The last one ended up being my issue I was changing tcp during the move.
