Hi all. This is probably a real basic one. I have created a couple of boards using 2D sketches and the extrude command. I want to use this to lay out my electronics so I can start getting a feel for where everything will go. I have been mating the faces of the parts to the board and constraining the edges with offsets. This all works fine except it is rather clumsy and slow. Also, I'm unsure how to use this same process when mating the Jaguar motor controllers, which has rounded edges. Is there such a thing as an apparent edge?

What I would like to know is what is the quickest workflow for creating a mounting surface and placing parts on that surface? i.e. what process are others using to place the motor controllers (and other parts) on their robot?
