X6: can't add tabs in 2d coutour

[greg2fs]

Hello, I have an issue with mastercam x6, I created a simple model and added some machining operation, but the tabs don't add in 2d contour. I tried several paramaters and got no errors but there's no tab at all.

I am a beginner but I already added tabs succefully, then here I don't understand.

 

Thanks

One thing that gets overlooked sometimes, the tab size. Is it too big for the geometry you're placing it on?

are you creating them on a contour using wire or a solid?

This is usually the issue always use wireframe for tabs.

I prefer to use the square point geom for the tabs instead of the auto-magic.

I tried automatic, manual, square points, I also changed sizes and parameters and nothing created the tabs, then I tried to import the file in another pc and it didn't work anymore but creating a new contour on this pc work.

I attached the file, if someone want to check settings (most are defaults)...

His sample uses solid chaining, switch to wireframe and it works fine.

That is what I thought was the issue.

OK, I was sure to have tried wireframe after reading your coment, really sorry and thank you for your fast and precise help !
