That's simply not possible, and that's not what's reflected in any videos on the topic. If you had to do that then there would be simply no point to even having soft limits as they replace physical switches.

 The refall is to set an arbitrary location on the chassis to machine from. If the soft limit settings are set correctly, and the work is set within the
tables limits, and the Z has enough clearance it should be good to go.

The software simply states an error "outside of limits" , or "software limits" and there's no area of direction provided to let you know what setting should be manipulated to correct the problem.  

The fact that I'm using a default G-code provided in the software itself as a demo seems really strange that you can't use it to validate the soft limits. I'm not even connected to an actual machine. I just am getting used to the functionality of the software,
and created a fictional table just like Paul did in the video link I provided.

I'm hoping someone can provide me an answer as I would like to learn, but am really having a hard time with this issue.

The users manual attached below also falls short on explaining any troubleshooting options.
Thank you.

According to the videos readily available online https://youtu.be/ma7lMocQbv0

 They explain pressing the Refall button to zero Mach's coordinate system. I always do that first, and then activate the soft limits button as directed, but get the same result.

I then proceed to machine the Road Runner demo G-code, and get a soft limit error.

Craig,

Thank you for your support. The machine is referenced prior to pressing the soft limit button.

I'm not using any home switches which would require being turned off.

Thanks.

I'm trying to setup soft limits, and I can't get the system to machine the demo G-codes that are provided by Mach.

I keep getting the "Soft limit warning" , and "Soft Limits!" which then is followed by the reset flashing.

I would really appreciate some support.

I attached the settings snapshot below.

Thank you all for your time.
