Component Interface

My company is using Creo 4.0 & Windchill 11.1. We use the Component Interface for many fasteners. The Top datum plane is used to place the fastener. In Creo 3.0, it placed the fasteners perfectly. In Creo 4.0, the items are being placed 180° from where they were in Creo 3.0.

Has anyone else experienced this?

If so, is there a setting to force the Component Interface to behave the way it did in Creo 3.0?

Is it on the placement of NEW fasteners, or is it flipping fasteners already placed?

This is why my fastener library uses the surfaces of the solid, not a datum plane, I think it's more robust that way.

It is flipping the placement of items that had the component interface designed prior to Creo 4.0.

For example, the placement was created in Creo 3.0. In a solid model created in 3.0, the fastener is placed properly. In a solid model created in 4.0, the fastener is placed upside down.
