<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Options">Options</span></h2>
<ul><li> If the panel is not flat (corrugated, for example), the relief won't appear in the Panel cut. This tool is useful mainly for flat panels</li>
<li> The panel cut can display a tag. This tag can be a custom line of text or can automatically show the Tag, Label or Description of its linked Panel.</li>
<li> To be useful for CNC machining, the tag should be written using a sticky font, where letters are simple polylines that are easy for the machine to follow. Upon creation, the Panel Cut object will automatically use the font specified in Edit → Preferences → Draft → Texts and Dimensions → ShapeString Font</li>
<li> Double-clicking on the panel cut in the tree view after it is created allows you to enter edit mode and modify the position of the tag</li>
<li> When you need to layout different Panel Cuts together, Panel Cuts can display a margin, that is useful to make sure a certain space is always present between a cut and another</li></ul>
