It was really non-intuitive, you have to select the fixtures in the 'Model' field of the geometry tab.

HSMWorks does have fixture avoidance in 3D toolpaths. You can satisfy yourself that there are no collisions in each operation, and then hope. This all goes back to HSMWorks not showing the stock condition when you simulate just one operation that is down the CAM operation tree. Worse yet, there is no way to simulate properly across two setups with different fixtures. For this show I made sketches that kept the facing operation from hitting the clamps.

While it can detect fixture collisions in the simulator, there is no way to make 2D toolpaths avoid those fixtures. I am not pleased with the way HSMWorks does fixtures. It can avoid in 3D toolpaths, but it is non-intuitive.
