Flute/Grain Direction

The direction of the material flute or grain, as specified in the Layer Properties.

Machine Direction

These two symbols may be inserted and their directions modified using Block - Direction Symbols.

Outside / Print-face

This symbol, whose name varies depending on the Terminology option, is displayed when the project is viewed from the Outside / Print-face side.

Inside / Die-face

This symbol, whose name varies depending on the Terminology option, is displayed when the project is viewed from the Inside / Die-face side.

If you insert the Print-face symbol when viewing the project from the Print-face side and then switch to viewing from the Die-face side, Impact will automatically replace the symbol with the Die-face symbol.
