NXCAM - flipping a non symetrical part on a vacuum table - new additional mcs or flip existing mcs?

[mechjames]

Hi Guys,
I am doing a chamfer operation on a part that is on vacuum plate. I want to flip the part over (pins register it back in position) and do the same operation again on the reverse side. How do I go about this with regards to the MCS? What is the best way? I don't really want to flip the MCS over as this will of course effect previous and future
operations. Can I add another MCS and just use if for this single flipped chamfer operation?

cheers,
James

You can have a different MCS for each side, and put the operations there in the geometry view, even though the operations are in the same program.
