MACH3 Import Homing Problems

Hello,
I have imported my Mach3 Profile. I have compared axis setup to the working profile in Mach3 and I have got my spindle control working.
Problem:
When I home all Z homes correctly, Y homes, then X exceeds soft limits or hits the limit switch and errors (exceeds limit)
Can you please help?
Thank you!

Just to clarify, I am importing my Mach3 Profile to UCCNC and would like to switch to UCCNC.
Thank you!

UCCNC is not Mach3, and has different settings, so when you import a Mach3 .xml, you likely still need to go through your settings to make sure everything is correct.
Sounds like your X axis softlimits and/or homing settings need some changes.

I do realize this, How do I get help on making these changes?
Is there a doc on how to set this up?

Start by turning off Softlimits, and seeing if it homes correctly. When it does, set up the softlimits so that they are inside the limit switches.

yes i did this. my best guess is that the steps/units are not correct in the imported profile. even though they match what is in mach3.

Then set them correctly, either by doing the math, or using the calibrate function.
But if they are the same as in Mach3, they should be correct, unless you are possibly mixing units?
If you turn off softlimits, what problem are you having?
You need to provide a much better description of the issues for anyone to be able to help.
