Hi,
Use Trim tool path.

1. Create the boundary on the place of your clamp first.
2. Generate the tool path as usual.
3. Use trim tool path, select the boundary, you have already made.
4. Select the tool path folder in the trim tool path menu.
5. Add your retract height.
6. Do not forget to select the region you want the tool path (outside the boundary)

On the contour parameters page select tabs and set up from there. For more information search the Mastercam help section
