How to reproduce

I'm successufully using CLI cmd with Bambu Studio. The same CMD sent to Orca Slicer is not working. The only way to make it works is by using ORIENT=1

return [
executable,
"--debug",
"5",
"--slice",
"0",
"--no-check",
"--outputdir",
str(run_dir),
"--arrange",
"1",
"--orient",
"1",
"--ensure-on-bed",
"--load-settings",
f"{machine_profile_path};{process_profile_path}",
"--load-filaments",
str(filament_profile_path),
"--rotate",
f"{rotation_z_deg}",
"--rotate-x",
f"{rotation_x_deg}",
"--rotate-y",
f"{rotation_y_deg}",
str(cli_model_input),
]

Actual results

The ONLY way to produce a valid Gcode is enabling ORIENT=1. If this argument is 0 (I don't want auto orient...) or not presente in the CMD gives NO gcode results.
