Arrange
link to open a floating menu.

Click on one of the structures shown in the menu. The images and connecting lines will
change to reflect that structure.

Rearrange the diagram manually using the drag-and-drop function to move the images
around on the screen. The connecting lines will automatically move with the component
illustrations. This capability is often used to arrange the components to replicate their
actual physical layout.
Note:
A manual rearrangement of the diagram remains only while you keep the window open.
Once you close that Circuit Trace window, the diagram will resume the default structure.

or

for
the one you want to trace from.
