I always thought that this stemmed from shops with extensive tool libraries that do off-line tool measurement. My old HAAS mini mill had a 10 pocket ATC, and required M6 T1 - T10 commands to retrieve the tools from the carousel. If I have 100 tools in my crib (which are measured offline) and I put tool 68 in ATC position 1, I'd want to use an M6 T1 G43 H68 command to apply the correct offset. Pro E's CAM dealt with this sort of thing nicely.
