How to specify tabs none for horizontal, full for vertical

[thestumbler]

I have a 4 row, 1 col panel. The PCBs are separated by a 2mm v-space, and tabs none. H-space is 0mm, and I just want a v-cut along each vertical rail. I can't seem to make this happen. If I make tabs full, I get the desired v-cuts on the rails, but there is unwanted material and two v-cuts between each PCB. Am I missing a setting?

I am sorry, but without kikit configuration I can only guess what you do wrong. My guess would be that you didn't specify any tabs. The tabs are the only thing that yields cuts. Tab doesn't mean you have extra space; it can have zero width. It just tells KiKit "this is the place where PCB is connected to the panel".

I'll send an example. But yes, I didn't specify tabs. Because I don't want any horizontal tabs -- just a gap. But I DO want vertical tabs (zero space). I couldn't figure out how to achieve that.

Sorry for missing your response; better late than never: as I said, KiKit creates cuts only on tabs. So if you want to have cuts, you need to add tabs:

{
    "layout": {
        "vspace": "2mm",
        "rows": "4",
        "vbonecut": "False",
        "hbonecut": "False"
    },
    "tabs": {
        "type": "fixed",
        "hcount": 1,
        "vcount": 0
    },
    "cuts": {
        "type": "vcuts"
    },
    "framing": {
        "type": "railslr",
        "hspace": "0mm"
    },
    "tooling": {
        "type": "3hole",
        "hoffset": "2.5mm",
        "voffset": "2.5mm",
        "size": "2.6mm"
    }
}
