    Hi If you need to place a component at a specific location use the command line and type x co-ord y co-ord for example x 200 200. You can also use this for drawing rectangles, lines circles etc. You could also use the ix or iy function for incremental co-ords, i.e if you are drawing a line from 0,0 then type x 0 0 then ix 100 would add a horizontal line 100 long, if you typed iy 100 then you would get a vertical line 100.
