Manual entry of components

Is there any way of manually adding a component to an Allegro PCB design using PCB Design XL in the same way that you could in OrCad Layout.

I have been able to copy a footprint but the component is unassigned  (R*) and I cannot find how to assign it a new part number and to connect nets to it. In Layout, there was a feature that allowed you to add components and manually stitch nets to them.

     Thank you Steve,

    That has fixed my issue. Althought there were still errors on the devices about pin names and un-named pins. But at least I got my new part in without removing all the other components.

    :)
