FIGURE 5-3 Board Editor Command toolbar.
Common Commands
Many of the commands in the Board Editor work in just the same way as those in the Schematic
Editor. In this section we will look at just the most common commands.
Move
The Move command allows you to move parts around on the board layout. It does not affect the
position of the same part in the Schematic Editor.
Group
Group moves and deletes are carried out in the same way as in the Schematic Editor. That is, you
click the command (say, Move) and then click the Group command, drag over an area to make a
multiple selection, and then right-click and use the Group move (or whatever) option in the menu.
When laying out by hand, a very common Group operation is to Ripup a section of tracks that have
been routed so that they can be rerouted better.
