Section 3: Selecting a Design

To do this, you will first need to open your library by clicking on the button. It is located on the lower left-hand side of the software screen.

TROUBLESHOOTING: If you can't see this button, your screen resolution is too low. You may find a resolution through our online trouble-shooting by clicking here.
