Hi: Thank you Cathedral. 1 question please. What if you put the values in of -32. and 32, and nothing happens? The part is still just to the right of zero, and if I define the right chuck for pick and pull, that is a mess. Every tool programmed on the main spindle will now be marked dirty and if you regenerate them, most will not work, stating that they will crash into the sub, and visa versa with the sub tools.

I purchased the X8 lathe manual only because it is listed as having information about "Stock Transfer" which I cannot find. At previous workplace, If I did a stock transfer to the sub, it would move to the other side of the viewing screen. With this post, it just moves to the other side of zero. If I have it move 10 inches to the right, then the face off will read Z10. So if it is just the other side of Zero, it presents a problem in that sub tools keep having errors saying they are hitting the material, and likewise on the main. Hepl please. I hace been to Mastercam shows and no one can answer my question of how to solve this problem.
