I was running a program last night on my milling machine. I was cutting air at the time and saw something that I did not like. I hit the stop button in gmoccapy and the program stopped but then the tool plunged downward in the z direction. I found this very odd. I took a look at the tool offset and it was saying 0.000 in. Once again very odd. I played around with it for a little bit and found that when I hit stop then the tool length offset would be removed. Then this caused the machine to plunge for some reason.
Luckily it did no damage since I was far enough above the part to not cause a crash. I have tried to reproduce this same behavior in a sim configuration in 2.7.8 but I cannot 100%. If you change the G49 G43 option the tool will show as moving on the screen but it is moving instantly as the change is being made. No real plunge occurring, or is it? Was this a glitch in 2.7.4? If not what could cause this behavior?
