To convert your schematic to a board all you have to do is press the board button. Ones you clicked that a window should pop up and you should see your components outside of the square.to move your components click the move button. The yellow lines that you see connecting your components means that they are unrouted. There are 2 ways to rout your component.one way is by hand and the other way is using the auto route button. To rout by hand you click the rout button then click the two ends of the components. When the line that you make is red then its on the top of the board if the line is blue than it is on the bottom.to use auto route just click auto.

Your text might come up in red or blue this Is not good but it is ease to fix. All you have to do Is click select layer button then find ether Tsilk or Bsilk. Tsilk means that your text will be on the silk layer on the top of the board. Bsilk means that your text will be on the bottom of the board. Then click where you want your text to be just make sure that it is not over any holes, or pads.
