After placing several objects on the build tray, you can let Objet Studio
arrange them before printing. This ensures that the objects are positioned
properly, and that they will be printed in the shortest time and with a
minimum of material.
To automatically arrange objects on the build tray:
On the Tray Settings ribbon, click
or—
From the Tools menu, select
The effects of automatic positioning are shown in the figures below.

For best results, arrange the tray with Automatic Placement, on the Tray
Settings ribbon, even if you inserted the objects with the Orient
Automatically option.
The physical characteristics of each type of Model material you use can
affect the positioning of objects on the tray. Therefore, select materials
before running Automatic Placement.
You can change the position of objects on the build tray—even if they were
inserted with the Orient Automatically option. Considerations for
positioning objects are presented in "Model Orientation," below. Tools for
changing the position of objects are presented in "Manipulating Objects on
the Build Tray" on page 21.
