I've started getting the pop up message "an unnamed file was not found". This happens in conjunction with trying to open a file and no image comes on the screen and though the G-code loads, the highlighted cursor jumps to line 8 or 12 and can't be rewound or started from any other line. The G-code is generated in BobCADCAM and I've reinstalled their post processor for Mach 3 but it doesn't seem to help. This only happens on certain files. Others I can open and run fine. Any ideas?

Post a bad file here.

OK. Here's one file that won't run.

I get an error also, but a different one. Mine is "Radius to end of arc differs from radius to startline 7". Your code does not have a "Y" position before the G3, so Mach is really at a loss as to what to do. I simply added a "Y0.0" on line 6. There is also an error on line 170. It reads "N170M) M5 (tool change .5 straight rough)" Take out the "M)" after N170.

Thank you Sam. I did catch the error on line 170 and edited it on the fly in Mach 3. It was supposed to be M0 M5 (program stop, spindle stop). The file I posted was saved on the computer I draw on and hadn't been edited yet. The missing y value on line 6 is interesting. Don't know why the program didn't generate it. I will try your fix tomorrow. Time for sleep now.
