Flip part mid execution

I'm currently working with an Absolute Arm 85 equipped with the RS6 scanner. I was wondering if it is possible to create a program that calls for the part to be scanned, then flipped mid execution in order to account for tolerances of the entire part. Basically I am trying to scan and check an entire part in one chunk of code rather than having to perform two separate scans.

    Yes.

    If you need stuff from side 1 to be related to side 2, you'll use an equate alignment.

    If stuff doesn't need to be related from side to side, you can use viewsets to control the model in your gdw & cram multiple programs into one measurement routine.
