Hello Everyone.

Today i'm going to ask something that i wonder if it can be done on SW18 CAM.

I'm modelling some sheets to be cutted in a CNC to fold it later. The thing is that several programs has the option of adding taps/tabs/bridges trough a contour. For those who are not following me, by tap/tab/bridge i mean a little part along the contour that is not cutted enterily by the tool. It would be very intresting to see that function in sw 18 and if it exists and i didn't know, please tell me. I searched everywhere and could not find it... The only way a can do that is through modelling those tabs/bridges, which is very annoying.

Thanks for all!
