    Make sure you have the Startup GCode for Cura set to correctly establish the Z-offset (M565 command) because Cura doesn't do this for you.

    Thing is I can print the calibration circle and other such things with mattercontrol but it auto calibrates. Cura doesn't auto calibrate as far as I can tell. That's why i was asking about how to calibrate and the settings for PLA. I will keep digging.

    You have to edit the startup GCode (sorry to repeat myself) to tell it :
    -the Z offset
    -force the autoleveling to occur

    something like this:

    G28 ; home all axes
    G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift Z by 5mm
    M565 Z-0.6 ; set the offset for auto-leveling mechanism -- yours will be different
    G29 ; run auto-level
