+            Defeature the cutout before applying it to produce simpler geometry for mesh (Experimental).
+            It applies only to Conforming bounding box. Default value is ``0`` which disable it.

+            This operation may slow down the cutout export.Valid only if `custom_extend` and
+            `use_pyaedt_cutout` is provided.
+        keep_voids : bool
+            Boolean used for keep or not the voids intersecting the polygon used for clipping the layout.
+            Default value is ``True``, ``False`` will remove the voids.Valid only if `custom_extend` is provided.

-            Verify terminal references. Default False.
+            Whether to check for all reference terminals and increase extent to include them into the cutout.

         include_pingroups : bool, optional
-            Include pin groups. Default False.
+            Whether to check for all pingroups terminals and increase extent to include them into the cutout.
+            It requires ``check_terminals``.
         expansion_factor : int, optional
-            Auto-expansion factor. Default 0 (disabled).
+            The method computes a float representing the largest number between
+            the dielectric thickness or trace width multiplied by the expansion_factor factor.
+            The trace width search is limited to nets with ports attached. Works only if `use_pyaedt_cutout`.
+            Default is `0` to disable the search.
         maximum_iterations : int, optional
-            Max auto-expansion iterations. Default 10.
+            Maximum number of iterations before stopping a search for a cutout with an error.

         simple_pad_check : bool, optional
-            Use simplified pad checking. Default True.
+            Whether to use the center of the pad to find the intersection with extent or use the bounding box.
+            Second method is much slower and requires to disable multithread on padstack removal.
+            Default is `True`.
         keep_lines_as_path : bool, optional
-            Preserve paths as lines. Default False.
+            Whether to keep the lines as Path after they are cutout or convert them to PolygonData.
+            This feature works only in Electronics Desktop (3D Layout).
+            If the flag is set to ``True`` it can cause issues in SiWave once the Edb is imported.
+            Default is ``False`` to generate PolygonData of cut lines.
         include_voids_in_extents : bool, optional
-            Include voids in extent calculation. Default False.
+            Whether to compute and include voids in pyaedt extent before the cutout. Cutout time can be affected.
