Just discovered that OrcaSlicer copied Bambu's unfortunate decision to remove from PrusaSlicer the ability to set the number of instances of a part on the bed. I wanted to print 9 copies of a test coupon spread across the bed as part of tuning a printer, and I had to select the part, Control-C, and then Control-V 8 times — and then Arrange didn't even arrange them symmetrically.

I do a lot of "set number of instances" because of printing math exploration tools for my wife to use to teach math, and it's actually helpful to be able to choose to print, say, exactly 30 instances of something.

I guess that if you want to use Bambu this is one of the limitations you just accept?
