Bridges/Tabs

Post by inuk101 »

I have a part where the tabs are being placed in useless postions. From reading posts it seems there is no way to control bridge locations, is this correct ???

Couple of posts from way back suggest it was to be included in VM 6 ...am I missing something ?

The bridges are placed based on start points of the curve and spaced evenly to honor the distance/number of tabs requested. You cannot interactively change the tab locations. You can however edit the start point of the curves to get better locations of the tabs.

Manual tab control seems pretty fundamental and often requested, how come it's not a feature yet ?

I've been though the help files. How do you specify/modify a start point ?
