Structure

Third line languages — optional, up to 3

Auto-fill recognises common airport terms (gates, toilets, baggage claim…) and keeps codes like “F–G” or “D1–D87”. Text it doesn't know, or second-language text you wrote yourself, is left alone.

  • Left, ahead and down arrows lead the message; right arrows sit at the far edge.
  • Arrow → pictograms → badges → text, one arrow per message.
  • Messages stack clockwise: ahead, left, right, then down.
  • Panels pointing left go left, right go right.

Manual: elements keep the order you place them in. Use the stretch element to push things apart.
