When saving toolpaths, select all of the generated ones and check "Output all visible toolpaths to one file" checkbox.

X++, Y++ and Z++ limit switches are at the opposite sides of their "--/Home" counterparts :)
I don't have "++" switches on my Chinese router, so I have Soft Limits active. Soft Limits are in Machine Coordinates.
Note that the axes in Home/SoftLimits settings are reversed, that means that during RefAllHome Z will travel in positive direction and X and Y axes will travel in negative direction, i.e. towards Home ("--") switches/sensors.

Take out the comments from your G Code :)

First of all, you should make GUI scalable for people that will be using stand alone version (.exe) on computers with smaller resolution, eg. 1366x768 as the lower portion of GUI is not visible.
Second, besides decimal paces you should add a drop down for nondecimal part. I prefer to generate drill files in 4:3 metric format without any zeroes suppressed, neither leading nor trailing.
Third, In BackLash optimization add an item: None
Next, you can define G1 rate at the beginning of the G Code as a separate G1 F1xx to have less clutter in produced G Code.
Also, take out the comments out of G Code.

I know why I wrote this, I have a converter of my own brew :) (without camera support as all of my PCBs have a diagonal reference points for positioning onto machine bed.

Thanks Zasto, I have read the manual, watched the videos, and yet I have difficulty understanding how the whole process works. I have referenced all the axis as per instructions but it still won't cut in the right direction e.g I will jog it to where I want it to cut, zero the axis, instead of going in the x+ and y+ direction to cut it will actually move to the x- and y- an then start to cut. It is not the lack of reading the manual, but probably lack of understanding how it works.

You messed something with settings.

Here are settings for a router that I'm using.
Machine is homing to the lower/left, jogs in the right directions, executes G Code in right directions.
As you will notice, I'm using same switch for Home/-- limit and Soft Limits.
