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:
- Change the stroke to the width of your milling bit and add little something. Example: 3.0mm milling bit → stroke 3.1mm:
Path → Path → Stroke to Path
- Choose the
Node tool (now you see the shape of the stroke is now a closed path):
- Add nodes where you want tabs:
