A single line Deboss has a VG Width of 0 (zero) and Debosses from the front of the mat. 

Double Deboss Line

Anything larger than zero for the VG Width is a double-lined Deboss. 

This will Deboss from the front of the mat.

The Distance is the space between the Deboss and the object the Deboss is attached to in the Attach To field. 

If the Deboss is not attached to anything, the Distance field is grayed out. 

NOTE: Offsetting the Deboss from an object when initially placing the Deboss does not automatically attach the Deboss to that objects.

If the object is resized, the Deboss is resized proportionately and remains the Distance entered from the object it is attached to.

Click Attach To and select from the dropdown control the desired object to attach the selected Deboss. 

If you resize the item that the Deboss is attached to (opening or outside), the Deboss is resized proportionately and remains the Distance entered from the object it is attached to..
