Tool offset problem when running

Below a short of the G-Code running. The tool offsets work perfect and as they should. My problem is when the program first starts or calls for a tool change.

This happens on every run. Not sure if H can come before T, but that does the opposite. Line 1400 calls for a tool change after the z is moved up 7" inches. When I hit conitinue, the head moves down at homing speed to a point below the material. I have to stop it before ruining the part. If I move the H before T, the tool moves up to 4.10" inches at homing speed before starting the next operation.

Why is the software moving the tool at homing speed at all? It should just set the offset and continue with the new offset. This is just an example, but this happens all the time. I don't see the problem. HELP!!

Seams you are having a large Toollength in your offfset register.
What methode do you use for setting lengthoffset?
Fanuc's do not work well with large Offsets because of the way Lengthoffsets are aplied by actually moving the tool.
Best to use a Standard Tool or just use the first Tool and set the G54 Offset register based on that.
Other then that you could retrackt the Tool all the way back to machine zero at the end of the sequence as in the example below.

I figured it out.

After looking at the M6 macro, I noticed that it was moving the z axis if the position changed during a tool change and that option was turned on. Not sure why it was moving since I wasn't moving anything, but turning that off fixed the problem.

Thanks for input.
