Thanks for making these videos! I'm just commenting to add that after dragging your mouse to select the components, you can type 'TOL' on the PCB side to group by rectangle (shortcut).
Even better, if you select components on the SCH one at a time in the order you want to place them (by holding down the SHIFT key), you can type 'TOC' on the PCB side, and they will snap to your mouse cursor one at a time for placement, letting you use your spacebar to rotate before you set it down.

If you use two monitors or go to the tabs at the top right click one and select split- vertical it's even easier

İs this new fetuare?

[@sentineo]

It has been in there for quite some time, but it took me some time before I stumbled upon it :D Thought that I might as well share it with as many people as possible 🙂

This looks like for an off-the-shelf plastic enclosure

True. If you're interested in how to import a DXF for an off-the-shelf enclosure, I have a video on that here: czcams.com/video/z5BaFDUAuQI/video.html
