How do I restore characters back to XYZ zero while keeping the pose?

Every now and then I will come across a pose that I want to use and will bring into my drawing where it's not at XYZ zero position. This is frustrated me for the past several years and I have yet to find a way to restore my character back to its original XYZ position without losing the pose I have chosen. I'm hoping it's something simple.

If it is the figure node you could just zero that (Edit>Figure>Zero>Zeroe Selected Node(s) with the figure selected), if it is the hip you could zero the translations by alt/opt-clickiing on them (and then cmd/ctrl D to drop it back to the floor if needed).
Posing tab, translation. Set each XYZ to zero. This will bring your character back to the zero position without affecting the pose.
And Save as a Pose Preset unchecking the General option!
Hold Ctrl key when you dbl-click to apply a Pose Preset... then in pop-up dialogue, uncheck XYZ under Translate. In this way, no matter your char is at XYZ - Zero or non-Zero before loading the Pose Preset, the Pose Preset won't touch its XYZ tranlates.
Or, before applying the pose, Lock your char's XYZ translates in Parameters pane ~
