    Here is a chess pawn I used to demonstrate the slice plug-in with you can find the plug-in here viewtopic.php?f=11&t=95&start=0
    NOTE* there are no tabs so you have to grab the parts as the PP finishes the cut. It really needs tabs but I did not have the time to add them. If someone has the time and wants to add them. Send me the file I will re-post it. :)
    This one will be a great canidate for the auto-tab feature of the PhlatscripT when its added :D
    Thanks
    Mark

    Parts like these only need 2 tabs each - opposite each other along the X-axis (red?).
    Why? Because the foam never travels sideways to catch the edges on the table (in the Y direction), only along X    . So a tab in the "front" and a tab in the "back" of each round part will keep it under control and out of harm's way.

    Dorsal,
    Good point!.. I have been doing all my circle tabs that way as well.
    When I get the time I really need to get in there and fix it up(and I will) I am setting a bad example for posting unfinished plans in the free plans sections and I know that is a big no no :mrgreen:
