I just recently had to program on a tombstone for a okuma space center. This video is a literal godsend for helping me remember the basics.

What if you have similar parts for intstance 3pcs on each side of the tombstone and on every side of the tombtone, totally 12 similar parts? Then you would want to machine every 12 parts with each tool and then move on to the next tool for to save tool changing times. How do you make this happen when you need to first copy the toolpaths 2 times for to make 3pcs on one side and then after that you would need to make a rotation for to copy these 3 toolpaths to each side of the tombstone? I have not figured out a way how to first copy and then rotate and still be able to use the function of "output by operation type" in the transform toolpath. This is a typical way of working with horizontal machining centers and there has to be a way in Mastercam how this is handled. Please make a video on how this would be programmed.

There are a couple of ways to achieve this, but not necessarily in the way you're describing. You can make more transform toolpaths on the operations that use the same tool, and then repeat the transform operation for other toolpaths using other tools after that (split them up by tool so each transform only copies those toolpaths first). It may also be possible to use nested sub programs if they are supported by your post processor.
