I have been trying to calibrate steps per unit using mach 3 settings and checking with digital readout.  Not consistent.  It will be off. 018 going in positive direction and. 786 in negative direction.

Those numbers are off using 10 inches of travel

Calculate the steps per unit from your hardware specs.

I will set x and y to 20000 and z to 22222.2222 . Then hopefully adjust settings until its accurate.  This will fix the problem of traveling different in positive and negative directions?

It is set at 20000 steps per unit. It is consistently travelling .990 in one direction and 1.06 in the other.

As Hood stated your hardware specs determine the correct step/unit, other methods are approximations subject to the accuracy of your measurements. You might want to take a look at a stepper calculator http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16315.0.html
 to verify/confirm your calcs.
Also are you allowing for backlash in your measurements? Backlash could account for what you are seeing.

Im using a digital readout for the travel measurements

I got the steps per unit correct in the settings. I entered 3 inch moves and it was correct with the digital readout. But when I went to mdi and entered a motion it over traveled again. Feeling like its never going to be right to be honest.

Now its moving correct with straight cuts but not angles or arcs. I need help PLEASE. I have to get this fixed and im learning as I go.

You never answered in regards to backlash. After you got your distances traveled correct did you measure for backlash? Do you have it entered and enabled? What % is your arc slow down set to? Do you have CV or Exact Stop selected?
