Spindle stops and goes home when work offsets change?

We run 5 double vises on this machine so may have 4-5 different work offsets going for the same tool. Example, face milling, using the exact same cutting conditions feeds speeds DOC all are the same but then the work off set changes the spindle stops, retracts and goes to home then comes back and picks up with the new offset and continues. There is nothing in the code to trigger this motion so I'm guessing its in the ladder that causes this?

Has only been a nuisance till recently when we had same job running for 3 days and the amount of wasted time really adds up fast. Anyone else experiencing this and how did you solve it?

TIA

hmmm, it has to be local to your machine as mine don't do that.
Maybe some kind of G30P1 macro causing it?
Can you post a snippet of your code?
