VG Width

VG Width on the V-Groove parameters determines if the V-Groove is a Closed or Open V-Groove. 

Closed V-Groove has a VG Width of 0 (zero) and cuts from the front of the mat. 

Anything larger than zero for the VG Width is an Open V-Groove, which can be cut from the front or the back of the mat.

...

Distance

The Distance is the space between the V-Groove and the object the V-Groove is attached to in the Attach To field. 

If the V-Groove is not attached to anything, the Distance field is grayed out. 

NOTE: Offsetting the V-Groove from an object when initially placing the V-Groove does not automatically attach the V-Groove to that object.

Changing the Distance number will offset the V-Groove the new distance from the object it is attached to

If the object is resized, the V-Groove is also resized proportionately and remains the Distance entered in the distance field from the object it is attached to.

Set the Default V-Groove Distance

The default setting for the V-Groove Distance can be set in the Admin > Editor.
