Homebrew PCBs

In Eagle you have to place your components yourself. Once you have done that then you can run the auto router.
Order of performance:
Design your circuit.
Run design rule check, correct all errors.
Then go to board view.
Place your components.
Setup the auto router.
Run the auto router.
Run design check.
Correct errors.

Good luck,
With respect, Boots-2b1

Everything looked great but when I switched over to the board layout view, everything seemed to get jumbled up. I tried the autoroute feature and couldn't figure it out. I have another program called Livewire which is extremely simple to put together, but, it's not tweakable for different sized of components. I've youtubed videos trying to figure it out... My project is due in 2 1/2 weeks, hopefully I don't need to switch to a standard breadboard. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
