Layer Orientation

I'm printing a long model that only fits on my print bed when angled 45* or corner to corner. Any rotation and it won't fit. I was curious if there is a way to get the slicer to recognize that and keep the solid layers printing at 45* to the model. For example, I'd want the first solid layer to be exactly aligned with the X axis and the second layer on the Y axis. Is there a way to change the layer orientation WITHOUT just rotating the model?

RE: Layer Orientation

You can change fill angle from 45 degrees to 0 degrees to achieve this change. but you need to be in Advanced mode or Expert mode, to see the option
