DRFrye,
 
I also move jobs from verticals to horizontals quite frequently.
If the .TMP files are set up correctly doing this is really a piece
of cake. It's just a matter of merging in your horizontal setup,
deleting what you don't want, then moving the parts to the proper
vice, fixture or work plane. When I say deleting what you don't want
it's because our verticals have 4 vices per table and the horizontals
are setup with 2 on each face, so I have to delete 2 parts in the move.
I have standard SmartCAM setup sheets for each machine in the shop
which gives the operators information on how to setup the job.
I hope this information proves helpfull.
