Backside Chamfer around Tabs

Hi all!

 

I'm programming a part where I am using tabs, and I am wanting to do a backside chamfer as well. Issue I am having is, it is trying to go up over and down around the tabs, is there a way I can make it pickup and clear the tabs so it's not cutting into my part?

No, unfortunately. The tabs are not really being created as a model that can be programmed around. For it to pick up and drop back down, you'd be better off going into the Model space and actually adding the tabs to the model. Sorry, I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear...

Hi @jesseatbettercnc,

 

Like @seth.madore said, it isn’t possible with the standard toolpath. 
for the back chamfering you could draw some sketch geometry within the Design workspace that describe the toolpath you are after.  
This is the only way to get your chamfer on the backside.

Not a problem! I had a feeling that was the case. That would be a very specific feature haha
