Extrusion options
The extrude is the depth of the sides. You can change the extrude by clicking and dragging on the side of
the text.
You will see the cursor change to this:
These extrusion options offer greater control over extrusion.
Apply to:
If you are using a board, board + holes or border design then you can choose whether to apply these
extrusion settings to just the text, the board/border or both.
Outline:
Creates a hollow graphic. The difference between outline and turning off the front/back face is that
outlined graphics have thick sides and the bevel appears on both inside and outside edges of the side.
Turning off display of the faces creates wafer-thin sides and the bevel appears on only the outer edge.
Depth:
Controls the size (depth) of the sides.
Matt/Gloss:
Lets you give the graphic either a non-reflective or shiny surface.
Front face (
Dimmed for buttons): Selecting this makes the face of the graphic transparent so you see inside the sides.
For shallow angles (text almost face-on) you can see through to the back of the graphic.
Back face:
Similar to Front face but makes the back of the graphic transparent.
All options in this dialog box are available in Flash vector format.
