The workflow for creating tab and slot features is simplified and
provides more flexibility. Additional options let you create center-aligned tabs, offset
tabs in equal increments,
tab directions,
and instances of tab and slot features to skip.
After you select the tab edge in a sheet metal
part, SOLIDWORKS® automatically selects a slot face that is normal to
the edge to streamline the process. For non-sheet metal parts, you need to select the
slot face.
If you have nonintersecting regions of two
bodies, the tab and slot feature applies only to the intersecting regions.
