what do you mean by part transfer? Are you trying to trying to move the part to a specific location in the XYZ coordinate plane?

what i am trying to do is transfer one part from my main spindle to my sub spindle but i cant seem to figure out what all the numbers do in the part transfer dialog box when i use the part transfer function under misc ops on the lathe Mastercam version X2.

simple

go to stock transfer
select the geo to transfer
click the original stock position (generally the back of the part )
enter the new position (transfered position)
in sub spindle position ' select the pick off position

the others option should be in the custom parameters, and this is custom made for each machines

when everything done , click ok and voilà your part is transfered to the sub
