I can can confirm that Fusion360 does support tabs.  Options exist for 
tab lengths, straight or "ramped" (triangular?) tabs, and either 
automatic (you specify the number of tabs) or manual placement.  I found 
the tab feature to be quite easy to use, especially compared to some of 
the actual 3d modeling capabilities - but that problem is mine alone, 
and not specific to the software!  I'm pretty sure I read that the CAM 
portion of F360 is standard HSMWorks, but I've not actually used that 
product.
