hey guys, I once again am in need of your assistance...

I'm doing a contour around a part and the part is being held down by a couple of clamps. My problem is I do not know how to tell mastercam how to avoid these clamps. Help!!! Yes I have the clamps on the model that am working on. Is there a way I could tell mastercam to avoid them by clicking on them somehow??
(I know I could probably do it manually by breaking off the chains where the clamps are but there has to be a better way!!)

Thank you once again guys...

There is a area in x, machine group proporties, in the op manager called safty zone you can use this to make a safy zone around the clamps. or use the Tab feature in contour
on the contour parameters page.
I'm guessing you have VX
