Hi Hazel,
It is not really correct to equate "Partir d'une place" with "Sortir d'une place"
Why not?
Without context, I can see why you may wish to try to equate the two.
Partir is an intransitive verb and takes the meaning of s'en aller --> to set off / to go / to leave.
Sortir can be used both transitively or intransitively and takes the meaning --> to go outside / to leave / to come out (from) and the meaning changes when taking the auxiliary avoir or être
Partir (takes only être auxiliary) can be thought of as a synonym of sortir in some contexts but generally not.

Hope this helps.
Bonne continuation.
Jim
