    Creating tabs in Mastercam x6

    Can anyone give me the run down on how to create tabs? Im trying to cut basically a square out of a sheet of plexi and every time I make a contour path it makes the tool path but not the tab even if I select the option to add 4 tabs.

    Thanks for the input.

    I always use the Manual placement tab to put em where I want them.

    Just make sure your giving them a thickness and width.

    click the geometry> move the mouse to correct location > then press enter, repeat for as many as needed.
