i tried it now and i think it works (did not have an error message and 
started like normal. But i got an error message when i had no xscrew.comp 
file)

if someone is doing the same:

basically i created a new file called xscrew.comp, then wrote my machining 
area (every milimeter a new line):

...
-2 -2 -2 
-1 -1 -1 
0 0 0 
1 1 1 
2 2 2 
3 3 3 
4 4 4 
5 5 5 
...

(of course the second and third row of numbers need to be measured but i 
have no machine ATM, so thats why they are the same)

and added once "COMP_FILE_TYPE = 0" in the HAL section of my INI file and 
for every axis i added "COMP_FILE = <AXIS>.comp" in the AXIS section of my 
INI file
