Prevent Multiple Counts from Rotating?

As I increase the count of the parts to print some parts get rotated 90 to others. Attempting to adjust the angle of the part doesn't help. Is there any way to prevent this? Same thing happens when I add a second part.
OSX
v 1.1.0.14
I tried beta 1.4.6.8 and it was worse about rotating the parts.

I don't know of a way to do this within KISSlicer. What I do is put multiple parts in my CAD file (orientated how I want them) and create the .stl from there.

THERE IS actually a way to do it.
Drop down menu ALL MODELS, AUTO ROTATE OPTION disabled: this way KS will simply duplicate without trying to arrange.

One thing on my wishlist is manual object placement.

Ah..yes there is. Thanks Davide! That'll save some time.

Not sure why it put a big gap between the 3rd and 4th part, but I guess not that big of deal. Just strange.

From my experience with KS, I think that multiple-count object placement is done to optimize work head travel so that it's as small as possible. this might result in object placement being... odd. I'd like to see manual object placement too.
