Newbie here so I am sure I overlooked something. 

Started with a pulley, got it the way I wanted, defined a tool and output GCode.  I had 4 tabs selected and width at 0.1 inch but the code did not generate any tabs.

Searched the help doc for Tabs and didn't find any reference to creation of tabs.  Watched a couple of tutorials but nothing on tabs.  What am I missing?

Hi:

  The tab's are done to the level of the finish pass, so make sure you have a finish pass selected.
When you change any numbers, like hte number of tabs, make sure you press enter to get the number to take
effect. If you still cant see them, please post your project here and Ill check it to see why.

Thx

I'm familiar with Aspire's tabs so I am probably not understanding your method of doing tabs.  I tried changing a couple of items but no luck.  I really admire your creativity Art, thanks for all you've done.  I think I attached the project.

Hi:

  Your tabs are therew. their just small. The tabs exist from final pass depth to full depth
at the width you requested. If I tilt your toolpath and look I can see them. ( Look at the bottom of this graphics..
youll notice the tab..)

Of course you are correct as usual :D
Love the program.
Sure would like that maximum cutter diameter  ;D
