Bug? Auto-arrange should consider rotation

Back to my favorite print for my Makergear M2, the adjustable wrench:

I load it into Simplify3D. I scale it up to 150%. I hit the arrange button, and I get a pop-up window.
"Cannot auto-arrange. Largest part exceeds build dimensions."
Except, that really isn't true. I go back, set the Z-axis rotation to 290 degrees. I hit the Arrange button again. No problem.
The bug (or feature?) that I'd like to convey is that if the only way that a long object (like a wrench) can be arranged on the bed with only a rotation of the Z axis, then the arrange button should go ahead and do that for me.
