Post processor wont work with prt. from assembleys

Okay so i moved from MasterCam to CREO's machining. I am using Mach3 and a chinese 3 axe CNC machine. So i designed a simple part and made some toolpath, used the post processor converter and made a code for a Fanuc or Hass machine and it works like a charm with Mach3. No problem.

Then i designed some parts in an assembly, made toolpaths that seems to work (when i play the toolpath it shows no error), but when i want to converter my NC file to a Fanuc or Hass file it says "post process fail" in the bottom of the screen. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

I tried designing a simple part in part mode and then designing the exact same part in assembley mode, which yields the same result when trying to post process: the first is no problem to convert,the part from assembly wont convert.

Any help would be appreciated :)
