How do I move modify the origin and orientation of a blueprint in Space Engineers?

I'm trying to use a projector to duplicate a ship, but the position and angle of the blueprint aren't what I want.

I know you can use the projector to position the blueprint, but I'd like to reduce the need for this. Rotating the ship and rotating the character before saving the blueprint don't seem to help. What can I do to change the initial orientation of a projection relative to the projector?
