Hey guys.  I have a schematic in Eagle and all the packets assigned and stuff.  Converted to board and have all the packets on the side ready to be arranged on the board.  But how the heck do I do it??  

I mean, I know how to drag the items from the side and place them on the board, but it's a fairly complex schematic (Super Tube Screamer) and I'm having the darndest time arranging them in a way that makes sense and can also be routed on a one-sided PCB.  Are there any tricks to making the layout process easier?  Any function in Eagle that will do some sort of an auto-layout then I can just tweak and do some small re-arranging?  

Any and all help/suggestions appreciated!   :icon_lol:
