The Problem

Some GCode-generators can't create tabs, so I decided to include them in the drawing.

The Solution

  • Select the path you want to add tabs to:
    Tab ksnip 2024-02-26 14-11-39.png
  • Change the stroke to the width of your milling bit and add little something. Example: 3.0mm milling bit → stroke 3.1mm:
    Tab ksnip 2024-02-26 14-13-16.png

Path → Path → Stroke to Path

  • Choose the

Node tool (now you see the shape of the stroke is now a closed path):br/>Tab ksnip 2024-02-26 14-11-39.png

  • Add nodes where you want tabs:
