There are only a few modules I use in manufacturing to make pretty much any shape imaginable within the 3-4 axis environment:
Fixed Contour for planar milling and contours.
Cavity Mill to rough out our blocks.
Hole making.
That is all it takes to use this software. There is no reason at all to go picking through the ump-teen other choices since they are just fixed contour with preset options, or planar mill which boundary method covers. Once you get a few good templates setup it's not bad at all.
