Firts thing are you running in Demo mode.? Not having license file can cause all sorts of strange things like this.
Next not good idea to run imperial G-code when set up for metric units. While G20 will scale the units it doesn't affect feedrate. So take the road runner g-code that comes with mach. The feed rate is set for inche's at 60 so because motor tuning is in metric units thats the feed you'll get.
It's far easier to setup another profile setup with imperial units and use that. Just copy the Metric profile and scale Steps per by 25.4. It removes any issues.
Why your getting those wrong moves I'm not sure and you'll have to explain a little clearer because not exactly sure what your meaning.? Are you 100% sure your using Metric units.
Soft lmits are relative to machine Coords. If you enter your X & Y travel in SOFT MAX put Zero in SOFT MIN. For Z Put Negative travel in SOFTMIN and Zero in SOFTMAX.
It should work then. I'm guessing your putting Z negative in SOFTMAX and that's the message.
Wizzards are just like Mach3 License file drop it in the mach folder.
