➡️ Requirements for mounting the picture in a rabbet in the back of the frame

➡️ Tab considerations so that they will hold after cutting the rabbets for picture mounting

➡️ Setting up the moulding vectors to properly fit the width of the frame that you are making

➡️ Difference between checking Create Sharp Corners and not selecting Create Sharp Corners with the moulding toolpath
