How do you get the GCode line numbers to show up in the following screenshot in UCCNC?

Thanks Robert yes they exist in the post process code from Inventor also when I open the file in Notepad. They were visible in Mach 3 but not in UCCNC in fact Mach 3 used to have the option of showing them or not I was hoping for the same in UCCNC.

That is simply not possible that if the line numbers are in the g-code file that then the UCCNC is not showing them.
The UCCNC showing exactly the same text what is in the g-code file, it does not hide anything.

Mach3 can add it's own line numbers. UCCNC can not.

I have managed to sort it out. Yes Mach 3 inserts them automatically.

I'm using Inventor CAM and the .NC file while the CAM editor shows the line numbers they do not actually appear if you open the file with Notepad no line numbers are there. So as a work around I simple use the column editor in Notepad++ and one can add the numbers there save the file and voila all is working.

Just thought I'd post an update for others out there that may find this interesting.
