Rotate Base Mounting of robot in program

Technical Questions
1

Is it possible to rotate the Base Coordinate System of a UR5 in the robot program?
So that it applies for all following operations. I know this function from kuka where you can use it for example for palletizing tasks.

I have a pick and place operation where it should be possible to rotate the pick and place positions around the robot in 60° steps. The goal is that i dont have to provide 6 programs for each direction, but one and just rotate the base for each of the directions.

I have seen a similar post but with no answer. Rotate Robot Base Mounting

It’s not possible to change /modify the Base co-odinate system.
But you could create a Plane at X=0, Y=0, Z=0 Rx=0, Ry=0, Rz=0

then you can teach the pick and place positions with this Plane.
then update Rz in 60° steps

this is effectively the same thing as rotating the Base co-ordinates.
