motion assistant limits

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a script in Motion Asst for my PCI-7354 motion controller. In MAX I have all the limit switches disabled (everything saved, board initialized). When I try to generate a simple move in Asst I receive an error message indicating that the limit switches are tripped.
Any clues?
Thanks.

Please check the axis' status in MAX (1D-Interactive). How is the limit switch status in MAX? You can run it in parallel to the Motion Assistant. Does the problem go away when you invert the limit switch polarity in MAX? Which version of NI-Motion are you using?
If you can't resolve the problem please export the motion settings in MAX and attach the XML-file to this thread.

I have tried to disable the limits in MAX and have also tried enabled with different polarities. I have no limit switches.
Thanks,

The motion version is 7.0. Attached are my MAX settings. I had to change the extension from nce to txt for it to go through.

Unfortunately your file seems to be corrupted. The import in MAX fails. But anyway, if you have disabled the limits you never should get this type of error message.
What happens if you move the axis in MAX (1D-Interactive)? Do you get errors there? What's the status of the axis?
