So, I was squaring up a block today. G54 Z0 was set on the floor of the vise, so I could face mill to the exact height I needed very easily. Turned on G43 height offset so I could get this done.
Squaring up my block all happy, I hit reference return Z to send the spindle home and my height readout mysteriously changes as soon as it gets home. G43 stays active, but the actual value on the Absolute (G54) position is lost. Canceling height offsets with G49 leaves the number the same. Hitting G43H5 again brings the height offset back.
It seems like a very very unexpected behavior... do I have some funky parameter set?
