I assume you are looking for the lowest Z value.
In short, you can do this in the post.
In shop docs, it is possible for a 3 axis machine if you list and examine the tool path, but not for multi-axis, because you need to postprocess to get the actual Z values.

This has been discussed many times over the years - I would start be searching the archives of the NX CAM forum at
