2. We must first move our components onto the board. Click on 

 then left click and hold to drag a single component onto the board. 

3. Arrange the components in a way that makes sense on the board. In this example we need our screw terminals accessible, so they need to face out. Components can be rotated by left clicking on the

 symbol and then left clicking the cross hairs of the "+" on the component you wish to rotate.  

4. Resize the board. Click on the corners of the white rectangle and move to resize the board. To add mouting hole, select 

, and click on 4 corners

On the next window, click Start and wait for the process to finish. If auto router finish, you should see 

  at the bottom right of the window. Click End Job to finish.
