I want to create a dinosaur template for my nephew. I got a design from 3 Axis, here 2, but the design looks to be intended for use with a CNC Router setup. Presumably using a cutting bit matching that of the stock.

You see, all the tabs for the parts are singular lines.

My question: What would be a quick way to turn more than 100 lines into tabs (slots) for the parts to fit together? So far I have tried, and failed with:

1. Using “Resize Slots in Selection” tool, doesn’t work, since there is no gap (singular line)
2. Draw line on cut line, use offset tool to create slot, then merge the parts. This removes the other cut lines, and is very, very cumbersome.
Below is an image of the part with lines:

And here is what I would like. (Notice how the other lines disappeared because I used Boolean Subtract merge tool)

1. select all lines meant to be tabs
2 .use offset shapes tool to create appropriately sized tabs, use “delete original objects” if you don’t want to have to clean-up afterward
3. select all generated tabs and group them
4. select all base (non-tab) shapes and group them
5. select grouped base shapes, then add tab shapes to selection
6. Tools->Boolean difference
