VG Width | |
|---|---|
VG Width on the V-Groove parameters determines if the V-Groove is a Closed or Open V-Groove. A 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. |   |
Open V-Groove | |
|---|---|
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. Enter the desired VG Width. The V-Groove adjusts to the new width. NOTE: This is not where to adjust the closed V-Groove width if it is cutting too narrow or too wide. See Width Adjustment for adjusting the V-Groove cutting width. |   |
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. |   |

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