If you do not see them, click on '''Show or Hide board ratsnest''' button located on the left '''panel''' of '''PCBnew''' '''window'''.

|-
| style="border-top:none;border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;border-left:1pt solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"|

Point the '''cursor''' on '''capacitor'''.

Press M. The module will get tied to '''cursor'''. You can move it wherever required.

Then we will double-click on '''node''' of R2 where '''wire''' needs to be connected.

Similarly we will connect one more '''wire''' between '''Resistor''' R3 and '''capacitor''' C1.

Let us click on one of the '''nodes''' of R3.

Click once to change direction of '''wire.'''

Then we will '''double''' '''click''' on '''node''' of C1 where '''wire''' needs to be connected.

Click on '''Design Rules'''.

'''Design Rules Editor''' will open where you can change '''track''' width.

We will change '''track''' width to 1.5. To do this double click on the value of '''Track''' '''Width.''' Type 1.5 and press '''Enter.'''

For this we need to select '''PCB Edges''' option from '''Layer''' tab on the right side of '''PCBnew''' '''window'''.

Now click on '''Add graphic line or polygon''' button located on the right '''panel''' of layout editor '''window'''.

Now let us create a rectangle around this '''Printed circuit Board.'''

Click on Top left side of '''layout.'''

Move the '''cursor''' horizontally towards right.

Click once to change direction of line.

Move the '''cursor''' vertically downwards.

Similarly we can complete the rectangle.

Let me complete this rectangle.

End the rectangle by d'''ouble clicking''' left '''mouse''' button.
