Specify the grain direction of the envelope to rotate the components on the envelope so that the component grain matches the envelope grain.

In the image below, the direction of the grain on the components is 0 degrees, but the direction of the grain on the envelope is 45 degrees. The components initially align with the X axis of the envelope. The orientation of the components needs to change by 45 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to match the grain on the envelope.
