I touched off with tool 1 (tool length offset = 0), than I loaded tool T7 M6 G43 with offset -6,25 and started the code (just drilling), the tool begins drilling about the tool compensation over the workpiece and thats why it would not go through the workpiece.
Very strange, as If i unload the tool with T0 M6 G49 before starting the code, it is fine.
When I was developing and debugging I found it annoying to have times after times a request to mount a tool that was allready mounted, this is why it will not ask to remount it again. G49 is in my init string but I can only guess it is also in your's. Using T0 forces to unmount the tool at the end and when restarting since no tool is mounted it will ask for T7 and also issue G43.
I changed Change Drill and Change End Mill to issue G43 even if the tool is not remounted. I will later when I am back next month add in the Preferences dialog the option of forcing or not a remounting of the tool. I ran tests today and to me it seems OK now but my experience is limited with this compensation. G43 H parameter is the number of the tool selected so someone could select a different tool without mounting it for the length compensation but I have no idea at all why he would want to do this.

You stated it was the design you posted a screen shot, isn't it ? I will investigate from that point

What kind of behaviors are you talking about here ? I consider adding last code of T0 M6 G49 G0 X0 Y0 a temporary work around and will work to find a permanent solution
