Hi, I'm confused. Seriously :(

I understood documentation that way, that G43.1 adds an offset to existing tool length (which would match the behaviour of Heidenhains TL), but it seems to replace the toollength instead. I stepped through the testfile several times and without G43.1 all things seem to work. Until restart of the file. Then the toollength is 0 until next toolchange. With G43.1 the toollength will change to the value from G43.1 - I did wrong calculation between absolute and relative coordinates. The gap of 30mm was not the toollength as supposed, but the value from G0Z30 ... So activating/deactivating G43.1 shows, that it replaces tool length - not was I expected - but in that context, things seem to work. Except with the tool table, which does not show the z-values any more. Tool-offset of active tool seems to be ok so.
