Everything is fine, all that is wrong is you have not told Mach where the offset zero position is, ie the corner of your material as you selected in BobCAD.
The cube you are seeing in Mach is your work envelope as defined by the limits set in Homing and Limits page. You may not have actually set anything up there, it will depend on whether you have limit switches and are using Soft limits.
Anyway all you need to do is jog your cutter so that it is over the lower left corner of your work piece, then click zero at the side of X and Y DROs then press Regen and it should look fine after that.
Also if you click the Display button once in Mach then press Regen you will not see the cube as you will have put Mach into work piece mode rather than table mode.
