You'll end up with something similar to the figure below after clicking on
Auto-Arrange
.
The blue arrow points to a tiny icon that
indicates which is the currently selected object.
In order to move an object around manually,
you'll need to make sure that the “picker” icon has
been selected.
Once you've clicked on that icon, you'll be
able to move the parts any where you like. However,
be aware that the software will allow you to move
the objects outside the confines of the virtual bed
and they will not be printable outside of those limits.
You'll notice that you've got some new controls along the bottom of the 3D View window
–
Ungroup
,
Group
,
Align
,
Copy
,
Remove
,
Cancel
, and
Save
.
The
Ungroup
button will undo the “grouping” done by the
Group
and
Align
buttons.
Clicking
Group
will virtually connect all the objects on the print bed so they can be
moved all at the same time.
The
Align
button has the same effect as the
Auto-Arrange
button, but the resulting
group of objects are not centered on the virtual print bed.
Copy
allows you to create duplicates of objects that are on the print bed as shown
below. Make sure that you've got the object you want to copy selected before you click the
Copy
button.
