Activity 2: Moving, deleting, and rotating components

In this activity, you rearrange symbols on schematic design with rotate, move, or delete commands. Sometimes, when you add components, they might not be in the right place or orientation. This happens because you didn't know exactly where they should go. Now, you have a chance to fix the problem.

Proper location of the components in the Schematic design.
