For a Lathe Stock Transfer in Mastercam 2020(and back to at least 2018) there are a few things that simplify the process, but yes it is complicated no matter what CAM software is being used unfortunately. One thing that helps is in the machine group properties under Stock Setup make sure to define the stock in your left spindle, then define your Chuck Jaws in both left and right spindles. The position of the right chuck jaw as well as the Grip length parameter will automatically populate a stock transfer operation for you. Leaving you just to select the geometry and pick a few options like if you want to blank the original, offset level etc. This might not be a magic button but the values that populate will get you pretty close right away. Also unfortunately the "Edit common parameters" doesn't let you change the tool/axis orientation of multiples at once, that sure would be handy for your example.
