Fixtures - one of the most essential elements in machining, yet many CAM programs make including them unnecessarily complex. Fortunately, in ENCY it's not only easy, but it's also very powerful, and integrates immediately into the kinematic and collision detection frameworks of the software as well, meaning that you'll never have to worry again about whether you've got the approach path right to account for that slightly non-standard vice that's on your machine...

The attached toe clamp model is free for you to use - it's the one in the chuck and toe clamp lesson later on.
