The orientation marker indicated what position and orientation a plate has within the model. This is very useful for sorting and assembling the parts on the production floor.

There are 2 types of orientation markers (per jul 2022): OP Drop (new) & Arrow (classic).

OP drop

The type of indicator can be set in the setting pages under tab Marking & Annotations.

arrow direction:

  • UPwards
