I've had a handful of requests to post this info here on the emastercam forum in addition to CNC Software's forum. If you are not familiar with the Strategy Manager we have had it since X9 to speed up the process of importing toolpaths and applying them to your geometry. The ultimate goal is to reduce programming time and improve consistency.
Like all the previous versions you are free to use the Strategy Manager at your own discretion. Here is the link to download the 2019 Strategy Manager:

In the .zip file you will find a pdf file with info on installing and using the Strategy Manager. There are also several example "strategy" files included for reference and testing. The video below has some good how-to info as well.
Regards,
If you look in the Machine Group Properties dialog, on the Tool Settings page, there is a Tool Clearance for approach and retract. These approach and retract values are offset from your Stock definition. You must define stock for these automatic clearance values to be used. If you don't define stock, Mastercam ignores these settings.
You make a copy and rename and then just delete the 4th axis out of the MMD and good to go.
