Why does "auto layout" sucks that much?

I’m trying to print a whole bunch of small parts and the auto layout really sucks. Is there a way to create a nice grid, say 10 x 10?

I can manually fit all of them but the auto-layout only fits 85 units or so.

Any idea?

Hello @sbouthillette …! :wave:

Welcome to the Creality Forum…! Creality

Are all the parts the same…?

If they are you can use the clone tool to add parts. It will add them and space them equally…

I thought this is what I did but let me try again.

This is what I get when I use the “clone” functionality. I tried with the part in the center and with the part in the bottom left corner. I always get something that look like what I posted.

It can get tedious adding parts this way to arrange them neatly.

Just click on one of the circles and in the clone tool add maybe 5 at a time…

Auto layout and clone tools are different…

How did you build yours? I think I pretty much tried every possible ways at this point!

I tried with the circles and they don’t look as neat.
