Hello all, can anyone advise how to add more than one tab/bridge in Part Wizard? Also is there a nesting function with Part Wizard? Thanks.

Unfortunately, that's one of the built-in limitations of Part Wizard. In case you don't know, you can change their location by moving the start point, or even adding an alternate start point. At least that way, you can place your one tab/bridge in the most useful place.

I don't think there's a nesting function either. These limitations were probably meant to "inspire" you to upgrade to ArtCAM.

v carve pro or aspire lets you put in as many tabs as you want.also assign heights and length of the tabs and 3d

Part Wizard is pretty old at this point. Artcam has "morphed" it into Artcam Express which has a whole lot more capability including multiple tabs (they call them bridges in their promo. It has an inexpensive price point and modules to upgrade it with more capability are available to tailor it to your needs should you need to expand it without going to higher price software. You might want to check it out:

$149 seems like a fairly inexpensive upgrade.

How much is the comparable Vectric product?
