Hello all,
I have a question to the bright minds of the bunch.
Do you know how to define the position of tabs on a vector?
On page 124 of the Gadget API document has the following:
-- true to use tabs (position of tabs must already have been defined on vectors)
profile_data.UseTabs = false
-- length for tabs if being used
profile_data.TabLength = 5.0
-- Thickness for tabs if being used
profile_data.TabThickness = 1.0
-- if true then create 3d tabs else 2d tabs
profile_data.Use3dTabs = true
As always thanks for any help.

Hello Jim,
From the SDK pdf dated 18th October 2021 (pages should be close no matter which PDF you use) some pages of interest:
p.62 under CadContour we get ":InsertToolpathAtTabAtPoint()"
p 94 ToolpathTab object: interestingly, this mentions the method "InsertToolpathTabAtPoint" rather than the spelling on p. 62
