Adding Tabs in Carbide Create

[AlanH (Alan Hartley)]

On the new version of Carbide Create I don’t see how to add tabs.

Since CC v7, tabs are now part of the vectors, and have a dedicated icon, see:

Carbide Create V7 Beta

We’re releasing our first public build of Carbide Create V7 today with a lot of big changes. The download can be found at: Download Carbide Create for those that want to try it out. It includes major internal changes but our testing has shown it to be stable so we’re ready to share. (That said, we’ve changed the file format to support all of the changes we’ve made so please give it an initial test on a non-critical project.) And now, on to the changes… Tabs are now a part of the vectors, no…

Julien gave you a link to the way to do it.

So when you create the toolpath you input the height and length of the tabs. In previous versions you would add the tabs. In v7 you still input the length and width of the tabs but they are not added in the toolpath. So after creating a tool path you go to the design tab and highlight your toolpath. There is a square looking box that is the edit tabs and you select that and then simply go around your toolpath and click on the + to drop tabs where you want them.

Hi learning the program and cnc in general
what are tabs?

Regions which are left uncut so as to keep the part held in place while it is being cut out.
