Took one last look at it, and not sure how it relates, but on the port setup screen on the right there is I believe a MAC-NC check box or something like that that was checked. Just on a whim I unchecked it and everything works now!
Still have to figure out why my files from sheet cam don't scale right, but that falls under the category of rtfm so I need to do a little homework yet, but at least I can drive my axis and get back to work on the mechanicals.
Thanks for the response
