How can I suppress automatic part placing?
I want to make muli-coloured plates by printing successive parts (using different filaments) over eachother.
The problem is I can't place them all aligned on the build plate as Repetier arranges them neatly, thereby destroying correct registration of the parts. Neither can I import and print them one at a time because Repetier places each part centrally on the build plate.
So how can I accomplish what I want?
Thanks

How would a person know from teh UI that dragging to group is apossibility. I mean - surely I'm not supposed to RTFM, right? )
I've designed a name plate in Fusion 360. It's bascially a 1mm rectangular plate, and I've extruded 2 text items to make 3 component parts - the plate with the text cut out of it, and 2 pieces of just the text. In Fusion 360, they are made in the correct registration with eachother. The text fits the holes. The goal is then to print these in different filaments to make the name plate.
Now in F360 I right-click each component and "Save as STL" and open it in Repetier.
Now, whether I have obect placement ticked or not, each new part appears in the middle of Repetier's build plate, which is no use to me.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks
Thank you.

I know there it works perfectly. So if it works there and not with Fusion360 then Fusion changes coordinate offsets. Don't know which coordinates they use. Important thing is you need to align the object before exporting to be at the right place.
I'd still like to know how to do this properly though.
Drag on right side on on the other and then it gets sliced as you need it - at leat with that example. Then you knwo how to do it and can compare with your model.
