    Hi Karthik,

    I had been meaning to write a script for grouping components for years. I finally got round to it. The attached skill file will group selected
    components if they are already placed on the canvas. I use quickplace first. The components will keep to the rectangle unless there are
    too many in which case they will overlap the bottom of the rectangle. This is a relatively simple script which suits my purposes. I imagine
    that there are various improvements that could be made such as spacing options, warnings if fixed objects are found, placement of
    non-placed comps etc etc. I will not be creating any updates in the near future as my job is pcb routing not programming or sys-admin
    but if anyone wants to add to or improve the code please feel free to do so.
