  4. Add components to the spool by dragging and dropping them into the graphics area from either the Routing libraries or the Design Library.
  5. Click PM_OK.gif.

You can also edit spool settings, such as spool name and properties for adjoining components by clicking Options Options (Standard Toolbar) or Tools > Options . On the Systems Options tab, click Routing.
