Normally they are loaded into the printer as two separate styles files and then you position and align them by hand or by coordinates.

Thanks Carl I thought they would retain their position.

Depending on the host the printer uses. All it will do is position the parts on the platform side by side in most cases based on their center. What you actually want is both parts to be centered on the same spot so you usually have to move one manually.
