    How to create manual tabs in MasterCAM X6 for Solidworks

    Does any one know how to create manual tabs in MasterCAM X6 for Solidworks in contour toolpath? I am so frustrated! I can create tabs automatically but not able to change their locations. I need to place them in the probably spots.

    As you see the Manual option is gray out. I can't do nothing to it. In MasterCAM X6, I am able to change the location in geometry by right click it. But in MasterCAM X6 for Solidworks, it seems like that function is disabled.

    Can any one help? Thanks!

    you need to make the square points were you want them and check that box or use the Manual and use the option of picking an edge and dragging the along for position.
