Options

General

Width: width of the notch
Height: height of the notch
Type: different shape of notches available
Flip (shortcut: T): move the notch to the other side of the curve

Distance based

Distance: Actual distance from the end of the curve
From start/end: switch the end where the distance is calculated from
Pick on the curve (shortcut: R): select on the curve the position where to put the notch

Intersection based

Select intersecting curve (shortcut: E). This allows to select which other curve to use as intersecting
object to calculate where to put the notch.

Remarks

Please beware that selecting one of the options in the intersection or in the distance group will
automatically switch the notch to distance based or intersection based. The notch can be then
further edited if you are not satisfied with the result.
