4.02 Automatic Design Orientation

Inside the MDA are four sensors that are used to determine the orientation of the TactiPad on the MDA. After the orientation of the TactiPad is determined the design is automatically rotated if necessary. A right up marker will be placed in the original top right corner of the design. To the TactiPad’s hinge should be facing off the MDA, rotate it until the right up marker is in the top right corner.

Because the MDA automatically rotates designs depending on the orientation of the TactiPad, it is sometimes needed to rotate the TactiPad after taking it off the MDA.  To help with this, the MDA automatically adds a right up marker. This right up marker is a small diagonal line in one of the corners. To ensure that the sketch is positioned correctly after it is removed from the MDA, rotate the sketch until the right up marker is located in the top right corner.
