Green arrows labelled 1 and 2 are displayed at the extremities of the component (if the component is a tee, a third green arrow 3 is added).

Whichever arrow is selected, all components up to and including that arrow will be selected and will form the list of components to be transferred.
The Transfer Spool dialog box appears and lists the spools available to which you can transfer the components.

Important:

The existing spool must have one of its components connected with the component you select in the original spool.
The existing spool must have the same mode (In Link / In Move) as the originating spool.

If one of these conditions is not satisfied, a warning is displayed and you will not be able to proceed with your selection.

The selected components in the spool are highlighted.
