2.15-- Placing a component on the DrawingBoard

To place a desired component from the Component Library on to your DrawingBoard, simply double-click on the component and it will automatically appear on the active DrawingBoard (or on the last selected DrawingBoard, or if no DrawingBoards are open, a new DrawingBoard will be created with the new component).

For more control over the location of the new component on the DrawingBoard, there is a more laborious method than simply double-clicking. Namely, click and drag the component on to the DrawingBoard without releasing the mouse button. Select a position on the DrawingBoard and release the mouse button.

The orientation of the new component is, by default, "left-to-right" (i.e. with the input(s) on the left, and the output(s) on the right). Any component can, however, be "flipped" to the opposite "right-to-left" orientation by selecting "Flip" under the "Edit" menu (or, equivalently, by selecting "Flip" from the menu which automatically appears by right-clicking on the component on the DrawingBoard).
