Grain Direction Symbol

I've done a bit of a search but have come up empty. My question is: I'm Looking for the symbol in Onshape for Grain Direction for Sheetmetal Drawing. Is there a symbol or is there somewhere we can download the grain direction symbol?

    Do you have an example of the symbol you mean? All I've ever seen is a simple arrow drawn on the part aligning with the direction and a note that says "Grain direction", which tbh probably communicates it better than an esoteric symbol that no one else recognises. You can never go wrong with a clear note.

    I will do an annotation like this in drawings which allows me to rotate it if the grain direction is in the vertical direction.
