How do you turn a part upside down and maintain yur past alignments? Is there a way to stitch things together or do you have to run 2 separate programs? Can't find anything in the hel file on this.

I would suggest that anytime you "move" a part on your machine, you will need to create a new alignment of some sort. I do have programs where I need the operator to flip a part because there is a flatness callout on each side around a bore. In this case, since the part is flat on both sides, all I need to really do is align to the center of the bore with 3 hits and measure a plane on top and I have my flatness.
