Request: Don't place automatic tab in inside corners

Hi,

 

I wish Fusion 360 was a bit smart when placing automatic tabs so it only would place them on straight segments and not inside for instance a corner, as seen on the picture. I know about manual tabs, but those can be a lot of work to put.

 

Cheers!

Hmm, I can't say that I've seen this before. While it's been the case where they do appear close to a corner, I don't think I've ever seen them loop around. Would you be able to share your Fusion file here?

-EDIT- One of our developers was able to quickly reproduce this issue and we've logged CAM-56495 to investigate the issue

Thanks, good to hear!

I see them all the time in inconvenient places, it looks like they are solely placed by distance without any other logic. Is this not the case?

Another example:

Here I would also have preferred if the tab was placed on the straight segment a few mm to the right:

It could also be great if it avoided placing them where there's little material. In this example the highlighted tabs would both be better placed a bit to the side of their current location. (I could of course also have a larger distance between the parts, but one can dream 🙂 .)
