Tool path help avoiding clamps

[Go Navy]

Good Morning everyone

 

Here is an easy one. I am trying to program my toolpaths in mill level 3 v9. The difficulty I am having is avoiding my clamps with tool path is there anyway to input clamps so that mastercam can program tool paths that goes around them.

 

Thanks for all the help

make your clamps surfaces and use check surfaces while doing your surfaceing path this will avoid the surfaces you said were check surfaces hth

 

also you can have a containment boundry and have your clamps outside of this boundry and the toolpath wont go past that
