    That is changed in the wincnc ini file. Make sure your machine will actually make that move without an issue first by turning off the limits on the top toolbar and carefully try the move.

    If you pm me your email, i could help you with it. If you bought the machine new, shopsabre will help you for free. Otherwise your out in the cold.

    Check L21 in the command reference. It might do what you want and can be placed in the code (with a L20 to turn them back on). I would be very careful about turning these off - could do a lot of damage.

    Thanks man,
    I ended up getting a hold of shop sabre. They told me about the INI. But I found out that myachine was already at its physical limit and changing the soft limit wouldn't help.
    Thanks for your suggestion though.
