Hi Jim,

I have changed it with the machine off line but it keeps defaulting to the original setting

Make sure you are closing Mach3 correctly (settings are only saved at the time Mach3 software is closed correctly).

Limit switches will also give the Estop requested report.
The Estop and Limit switches are usually wired Normally Closed (N.C.) so disconnecting them will not solve the issue. Check that they are all connected correctly and closed circuit.
Chances are you have a wire off somewhere.

Do you know the maker of your control box ?
Perhaps post a picture of it.

Try changing the Active State of the EStop in Config. / Ports & Pins / Input Signals.

(Ideally your Mach3 machine control PC should be a dedicated unit & not connected to the internet and receiving updates).

As ZASto has said, cleaning up your .DXF produces a much improved toolpath.

If it's any help I have attached my laser Gcode file for your cleaned-up .dxf.

You can download the Mach3 manual from here; https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Mach3Mill_1.84.pdf
Section 3.4 deals with MDI commands.

Just one further point...

How are you turning your laser on/off ?.   If you are using the M3/M5 or M8/M9 commands then you need to check out the M11Px/M10Px commands as that will make a much better job.
