Mach 3 will not let me turn on the soft limit icon. Every time I press it I get (Machine out of limits for soft limit activation.) I home in the upper right on my CNC. I have the machine coordinates set to 0.0000 for all axis's with the machine located where I would home it. I also have my soft limits set to 0.0000. I have been trying to get my soft limits set for a long time so I can use my machine with no luck because I can't seem to get the soft limits set. I have mechanical limit switches installed but when the trip I have to turn of the machine and move it off the limit switch. I don't know where I can set that so it backs off one the switch is tripped. Would rather use the soft limits.

with Settings (screen) -> override limits you shold be able to jog off a limit switch.
soft limits are only working with machine coordinates, so you have to have reference switches and
referenced all you axis to use them.
