Using Carton Templates

You can use standard carton templates provided by the ECMA association.

Before you begin: If the catalog is not available, import the 3dxml file that contains the templates. It is located in ..\startup\StructuralPackageDesign\ECMACatalog.
  1. Create a physical product, add a 3D shape or a 3D part.
  2. Define an axis system.
  3. To instantiate a template:
    1. From the Tools section of the action bar, click Catalog Browser .
    2. In the Catalog Browser panel, select the catalog that contains the required carton templates.
      Templates are displayed in the right-hand pane, in the Item name column.
    3. Right-click a template and select Use Item > Template instantiation.

    Each template contains the following components:

    • One or more 3D parts representing the 3D model.
    • The drawing of the carton box associated to its 3D representation.
