Was the code written for G41 from the start or have you added it later?

Gaining steps is usually noise on the step wire, are you using shielded twisted pair cable on your signal wires grounded at one end only.

Softlimits work off the machine coordinates so if your machine is at home in picture one then switch to machine coords and move to the opposite limits and that will be your min values minus xyz, home should be your max values.

When using servo motors the steps per is based on the encoder pulses so a 1024 per rev encoder would be 4096 steps divided by your pitch and drive ratio.

You can add code to the Macropump.m1s to turn it on and off.  Then you need to enable the macropump in config.

Are you running parallel port, if so you might need to up the pulsing rate from the default 25000 to 35000

I think you need to put your macro on here so we can see how its working.  Zip it up and give it a new name or you will get a already exists error, date and time is usually good.
