emac319 described one method. For a multi-tool job I like to set up a WCS, run my first program, change the tool, reset Z using an area not already roughed out. For instance, if the origin in the XY plane has already been roughed out I'll just job a little bit to the left to a nice untouched piece of stock and zero the Z to that. If all your tools have indexing rings you can calculate the offset between them though and keep a little log. Change tools then reset the Z according to the offset. This is what I do. All my tools that have indexing rings I measure and adjust the ring so that they are the same. I write down that measurement and periodically check them before I run em. Awesome. How do you just reset Z in UGS platform?

I know aforww will be along soon since he is the platform guy, but the g code for a temp wcs z zero is G92 Z0.
If, for instance you already had the G55 set up for where you wanted it to be in the XY plane you could reset Z for it like this: G55 G90 G90 X0 Y0 Then hog it down to zero manually as you normally wood, then type G10 L20 P2 Z0 That wouls reset just the Z on the G55 work coordinate system.

How do you just reset Z in UGS platform? You can use the Gcode as Derek provided or just​ use the reset buttons in the coordinates window.
