Raft Problems

I have the XYZprinting da Vinci jr bu that isn't important because I am having problems with the software. With allot of the recent items I am printing I have to add a raft to them but the rafts have a significate problem that just star appearing. I am going to try to explain this to the best of my ability but without much knowledge I do not know how well I can explain it, so prepare for a large run on sentence with lots of rambling and probably some nonsense. The rafts that the XYZ software for ease of explanation run diagonally North West to South East on the printer bed the printer starts printing and gets the outline of the object down but when it starts filling in the object the first internal print layer also runs diagonally  North West to South East so the fist layer of print gets messed up because the aft which has about 1mm in between each row lets the first layer of print slide through the gaps in the raft causing a large mess of a base to the object. this is not the printers fault because no matter what I can not make the software put the raft going perpendicularly to the first print layer. I have tried rotating the object before I put it in the XYZ software, I have tried rotating it in the XYZ software, and I have tried adding other objects on to get the layers alternating but no matter what they always face the wrong way messing up the base layer. Is anyone else encountering this problem, and does anyone know a way to change the raft direction relative to the first print direction? I am going to add a picture to try and show it.
