How do you actually load parts in the position they were saved?

· How do you actually load parts in the position they were saved?
STL objects will generally not maintain their relative positions. However, you can select multiple models loaded as separate STL files and "merge" them. This will first move them together, relative to their original position, and then group them. You can still select individual meshes in such a group (eg to set which extruder to print it with) by using ctrl+click.
Alternatively, you could try saving multiple models as one 3MF file. 3MF files normally do keep their original location.

Thanks for sharing the trick. It does look like merge brings them to their saved position (also retaining the different material assignments), and now I can also re-orient them together.
This should work!

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
