Tabs in SC is not the easiest but I got a working solution that I'm using from guru_florida in another thread, link below. If you figure out any other way I'm happy to try it..

Hi, I followed your instruction and created tabs from solidcam and that works as well. Great.
I tried a different approach and just added sketch points instead of creating full tabs but that was not...

It did work :banana: that is so sweet! Many thanks to you guru_florida. What I did is that I used Solidworks and added two open chains with the point to point option. As you said that is the easiest...

Sweet! I'll try out your method one to night. If I get this working I'll vote this answer as number one solidcam tip ever :-)

I would also like to find an answer to this, no one worked it out? Additional plugins or something else?

Sounds like a good solution SOLIDCAMSTEVE. Seems like the only way here, thanks.

Here is the chain and still it's not going my way. The black line is what I marked as open edge. Also the blue line is included in the chain.

I can't get this to work! What operation should I use to clear material from an open pocket. I admit I'm a rookie with the mill but this should be so simple. It's a small pocket in the part but when...

Thanks for the answers, the operation I was working on was a simple profile and the nice facilities from 3D and HSM is not available here. So when I create a sketch that represents my 'bridge' I...

I can't figure out how to create small bridges for holding my part during milling. Sounds like a common and simple thing to do but how you do it?

I now feel a bit confused. It seems like I expected the toolpath in Mach3 to be in the origin, but of course it is on the outside of the part. Thanks for the reply. Very good to find a way to move...

This should explain the problem better. I created a 40x40mm box in SW and set up the coordinate system in lower left corner. A 20 mm mill to cut a profile around it, set it to the outside=right side....

When creating G-code for my mill from Solidcam 2008 I always get the starting position wrong. It does not start where I put the origin when setting up the coordinate system, it kind of kompensates...

This sounds like same problem as mine and it's now solved. The problem I saw was that the mill table was not moving at low speeds, the mach DRO moved but since the table did not, it ended up...
