Yeah, we knew about this and improving the arrange functionality is a high-priority task for the next release. It's supposed to be a big feature.

Yeah, we knew about this and improving the arrange functionality is a high-priority task for the next release. It's supposed to be a big feature.

In my case I put a small model, so it gets placed in the center, then I do multiply and I set One at a time as _Print Sequence_ and then I arrange all models.

The result is that the first model is still in the center and all the other are pleced in line outside of the bed.

If I arrange before change the _Print Sequence_ options the models are placed too close so then it's not able to print with One at a Time

The case for one-at-a-time mode is also reported here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/8329
It's a bit of a separate issue. The collision areas for objects are wrong in one-at-a-time mode, as can be seen if the "ensure models are kept apart" preference is enabled.
