Automatic rotation of the CAD model during a measurement routine?

One method of getting the model to flip in the graphics display window is to have two copies of the model in your measuring routine. One copy is transformed so the first side is up and one copy is transformed with the second side up. This can be done through the CAD Assembly dialog: Working with Assemblies of Parts (hexagonmi.com). You can either import the model twice and let the software merge the copies together or transform the model while the 'keep original' box is checked - that makes a copy of whatever is being transformed. ​

At the beginning of your measuring routine, hide the second copy of the model so just the side 1 model is showing, create a viewset command, and recall that viewset. That will make the first model appear in the graphics display window while running the first side of the part. Then, when you begin programming the second side of the part, hide the 1st copy of the model and show the second copy. Create/recall a viewset for that arrangement and then the second model will show in the graphics display window.

I tried this and I can't get it to work. I got my original CAD model oriented how I want, then create VIEWSET1. Then, I transform my original CAD model, while checking the box "keep original". First, the copy doesn't rotate correctly when transformed. So I hide the original, then finish rotating the new copy into the correct orientation, then create VIEWSET2. When I go to recall VIEWSET1, it shows both models together. I think that when you transform, the models' transformations are not independent of each other, therefore by the time I transform other copies for a total of five different orientations, the original model is in some crazy orientation. I wish someone would do a video on this, because I can't seem to get it.
