Here is how I do this.
After setting up this way you can mill any part in the centric vise on the A-Axis without using a probe for each part.
If using Intercon use all dimensions from the center of the A-Axis and from X0 at the base of the vise jaws.

Great video. Now I need to look at my setup again. I am running my rotary on the B axis.
