Hi,

I have a schematic and layout open, side by side. I can use the "cross probe" command to select a net, like was done in the exercise, and anything that was not in the "selection filter" was masked out. Good so far. In your video, you can then select components in the schematic and attempt to place them through the "reposition selected components" tool. However, when I do that, the PCB layout unmasks everything, so it is not as clear to see where things need to get placed. I have attached to screen shots to show what I am referring to.

Thank You
Tom
