You will need to create a new toolplane for the 2nd side using the Axis Combination/Spindle Origin button:

Mauricio,
You can achieve your desired output with a few simple edits to your post processor! Your reseller can probably assist. If you are unable to get the help you need, DM me and we will work it out!
