X and Y Position Fields
X (Position Field)
The X Position field is used to manually set the horizontal position of the selected Crease object (lines shown for illustration).
Y (Position Field)
The Y Position field is used to manually set the vertical position of the selected Crease object (lines shown for illustration).
Rotation Entry Field
Enter the desired degree of rotation in the Rotation field.
The currently selected Crease will pivot from the center point.
To rotate a group of objects or to manually rotate an object, see Rotation on the Advanced Tab.
Distance
The Distance is the space between the Crease and the object the Crease is attached to in the Attach To field.
If the Crease is not attached to anything, the Distance field is grayed out.
NOTE: Offsetting the Crease from an object when initially placing the Crease does not automatically attach the Crease to that object.
Changing the Distance number will offset the Crease the new distance from the object.
Attach To
Click Attach To and select the desired object to attach the current Crease from the dropdown control.
If you resize the item that the Crease is attached to (opening or outside), it will remain the distance displayed in the Distance field and resize proportionately.
NOTE: Offsetting the Crease from an object when initially placing the Crease does not automatically attach the Crease to that object.
Crease Attached to Opening
Here the Crease is attached to an opening.
Crease Attached to the Mat

Cartridge Selection and Type
Use the Cartridge and Type section to select the desired Cartridge and Cartridge Type for the particular layer of the object.
Click on the Cartridge Icon and select the desired cartridge for the current object.
Select Crease to use the Crease cartridge on the current object.
Changing it to a non-Crease Cartridge will change the Crease to that Cartridge type; i.e., changing it from a Crease Cartridge to a 52 Degree Cartridge will make it a 52 Degree V-Groove opening.
Cartridge Type
When applicable, select the desired cartridge type from the Type dropdown control.
Selections available are dependent upon the type of Cartridge tool selected.
