  1. drawing a schematic: Schematic Editor. Which components are in the design and how they are connected.
    • custom symbols may need to be created if appropriate symbols aren't available.
    • footprints are also selected for each component
  2. laying out a circuit board: PCB Editor
    • footprints are the copper pads that match the pins on a physical component
  3. editing symbols: Symbol Editor
  4. editing footprints: Footprint Editor
