Tabs

Post by olf20 »

Is there any way possible to leave a tab at the top of a
cut instead of at the bottom??
Example cut out a circle that is 3" thick by 6" dia.
I want to leave the tabs at the surface on one side
and finish cutting out on the other side.
Thanks for any help!

Specify a tab height the thickness of your material? And on the other side specify your real tab thickness?

If VCarve complains about a tab height being the thickness of your material then specify a height of thickness less 1/1000 of an inch or 0.01mm.
