Isn't it reference distance in SheetCam?

[rons]

That is what I thought I have set to zero but that doesn't force a z on every pierce what am I missing?

Setting reference distance to 0 in the post area of sheetcam (edit post button) worked for me.

In newer POSTS that parameter is set in the "Set Custom Post Options" button in SheetCAM (Options/Machine/Post Processor) any setting there overrides the setting in the POST options - You set both REF distance and Switch Offset in that window. also remember that if you switch posts or import (even the same post name) it will go back to default values.
