(Robot is on a podest and TCP is not allowed to move lower than base coordinate system.) To set an offset is working for only one tool. But if the worker changes the tool the offset is wrong.

Hi Christian..  
Ive made a “product wish” here which you could like in the hope that it gets more attention.

> Summary deactivation of the tool Flange , in safety planes. What is it? When creating safety planes, you sometimes want the safety planes to only react to a mounted tool. But as the tool flange is always considered a tool position the safety plane can activate prematurely. Why is it needed? In our case it is a problem because, we want to create a ceiling for a tool that is considered dangerous, such that the tool never reaches above neck height. But as the tool is far away (40cm) from the to…

In your case it might be possible to use the “Dash board client” to load different installation files (each with their own offset) and restart the robot..

but it is a really hacky and slow work around..
