From at least NX11.0.2 on (or NX11.0.1 already?) using identical parts as Part is not required anymore. Using option Positioning Type = CSYS instead of Part in the IPW Transfer dialog in the Blank definition does the trick.

Is anyway to specify a clearance to Check Geometry ?
Because the Tool is avoiding the Check Geomerty at 0 mm, not funny !
Can I specify like 1mm clearance to this ?
Or I have to fake the Check geometry by 1 mm ?

Look under the Stock tab of the Cutting Paramters. There is a Check Stock parameter.

I typically use jkane1's latter suggestion for time considerations in tightly controlled cost environment where productivity and waste are tracked in .25 hour increments. Every part is in a stand alone file which contains all machining including multiple setups. Also, file portability is simple with a single file should I need to share a file to someone off site.
I used to have programs in a machining-only part file so the part component is not a huge file to open in the main assembly but I found I was not saving significant time because the workstations and networks are fast enough to handle it. It's not like the old days when hardware limitatons played a larger role in planning a work flow.
