Probe Orientation When Programming CAD With A Flip

Hello,

Working with CAD programming for the first time and i'm having some weird issues with the orientation of the probe. The program checks one side of the part and then has the operator flip the part and realign. To program this I followed advice from past forum posts and "mirrored" the CAD while keeping the original, then hiding the original in CAD Assembly so I could program the 2nd side. The issue that i'm running into is after doing this PCDMIS always has the probe in position for the 2nd CAD model. This creates an issue for me when trying to optimize paths or run collision detection because the probe is upside down & crashing into everything for the first half.

Is there some way to manually change the probe orientation? How do I overcome this?
