Attaching grain direction symbols

The purpose of the corrugated symbol, in the design, is to display in a proper way the flute direction that it takes into account. The parameters of the Corrugated Symbol component - EH, EW and EHX - are differentiated into a separate Corrugated Symbol group as described below.

Each standard has its own symbol that rotates automatically each time the grain direction changes. When a new standard is being designed, you can choose how to attach its symbol. You can attach a symbol on a single point or on two points.

To attach a symbol

1. On the Objects tab, click Flute/Grain button, and then in the drop-down menu, choose attachment on a single point or on two points.

Main usage: When you change the flute direction (FD) of the design, the corrugated symbol automatically rotates respectively to reflect the change.

DT=fdX=0° DT=fdY=90°

DT=fdX=0° DT=fdY=90°

Attachment of a corrugated symbol on two points.

To attach a grain direction symbol

Note: The directory \\EngViewWork\Settings\MaterialResources\UIIcons holds the symbols for corrugated board and folding carton that are installed by default. These are EVD files.
