G7 and G8 don't seem to change how the paths are read was created by Vitran
I am using BobCAD on a lathe. I tried to run code and noticed it was producing a diameter, not a radius, for the X value. When I was using CamBam before I changed it so X was 1/2 the diameter.
I found in the post processor how to change it from radius to diameter. It changed the G8 to a G7 at the start. With that change in the code, no difference. When I loaded it back into LinuxCNC it produced the same path lines with the radius=diameter.
I can go into MDI mode and do G7 G0X1 and G8 G0X1 and see it moving to 1" diameter and 1" radius. However not in the code. Changing the G7 and G8 at the start of the code does not change the paths on the screen. It will not let me start the code as it sees an arc with an excessive radius error.
Any ideas what I am missing?

Posting the beginning of the gcode file would be helpful diagnosing your problem.

I found the solution about an hour after I posted. Not really a solution, but here.
This is the start of the code that failed.
The code above would always have X value in terms of diameter instead of radius. It would fault on the G03 line as shown (I did truncate some of the code). What I changed was make the post processor export the G03 as a radius, or X,Z,R and that made the lines work in terms of radius instead of diameter.
Below are the two complete codes. The first did not work, the second did.
