set tool offset on tool table change G49. into G43 was created by RobotMatic
HI.
when the tool offset is set on the tool table, G49 (modal) chages to G43, I can see this in MDI mode in the window of modal commands.
In Fanuc, Fagor, Etc... when I do that operation G49 doesn't change into G43. It's assumed that I am charging a tool offset but Iam not using the tool. The system takes G43 from my program.
In Linuxcnc is difficult to set multiple tools because I have to set G49 every time I charge the tool offset in the tool table.
Why does Linuxcnc work like this?

Setting the tool offset into the tool table actually performs a G10 instruction. Does that help explain what you see?

I don't understand why you need to set G49 before touch off. When I touch off a tool I first load the tool with Tn M6 G43 the touch off to my fixture then load the next tool and repeat.
