Using Drums as Boxes
| In one of the container load examples, we fill a container with pallets, boxes and drums. The following example explains how to save a drum as a box after calculating a pallet load. |
| The first step is to open a new document window starting from primary package dimensions and select "Cylinder" as the primary package type. Once this has been done, we choose "Stretch-wrap" as the box construction type and a case count equal to 1. The pallet constraints are not relevant as we will use the calculation to save the box only for further use. |
 |
| After selecting "Recalculate". we should be able to see how the cylinders were placed on a pallet. Once this has been done, we can save the "box" to a file either using the Export Box... File (XML) command from the File menu or right-clicking (ctrl+click on a Mac) on the cylinder drawing. Once the box is saved, we can use it as in this example. |
